Excel from windows issues


the problem having not being able save excel files

running office home & student 2007 on windows xp system. excel files saved onto external hard drive. have bought imac & installed office mac home & student 2011

when open file external drive comes (read only) & if make changes & try save on external drive following message - not have permission save files external drive folder name

make sure have write access location, or select different location

i'm using excel type out invoices keep same layout make few changes & save new invoice number. have tried saving desktop & dragging external drive folder doesn't work either.

gratefully received
 

it may external hd's format 1 macosx can read not write. ntfs 1 such format , 1 standard win hd format.

1 test copy file mac's internal hd using finder , open copy in excel/mac , see if can edit , same. if so, drive format issue.

use mac's disk utility or use finder's info examine drive see format uses. if uses ntfs problem.

if hd formated ntfs, want copy of files onto hd formated either exfat (readable , writable both macosx , windows) or hfs+ (mac only).
