I did this weekly archiving with an earlier PC, but it fatally crashed -- and the preinstalled software with it. The program made the CD-R appear as a disk drive. I then wrote my files and could read them back, just as though the files were on my internal C or D drives. Absolute magic! I would also like to burn same items on DVD-Rs/DVD+Rs as my son told me they hold so much more.

CD-R is CD-Rom and it cannot write on a CD-R,CD-RW or CD+RW.

Check to see it you have a DVD burner if not you will not be able to burn anything to a DVD disk. A normal CD would hold 100's of word and excel files. You can go to right click my comptuer, properties, hardware, device manager and open the + sign on cd drives if it does not show DVD/RW then you do not have a DVD burner...Thanks

What on earth are you saving thousands of Word and Excel files for? Will you live long enough to review them?
With that said, you might want to consider an external, USB hard drive. That is on my wish list. Currently, I'm using flashdrives. Price has come down and as we near the holidays they are on sale all over.

You need to have CD/DVD burner. If you have that, it is as simple as copying files from one location to another.
