As this could have been a Microsoft issue, this seemed a perfectly
appropriate place to post this message.

I just discovered that the target folder somehow became "read only" when
copied to my new Mac. So the fix was easy...just change the permissions to
"read & write"

I've just finished installing Excel 2004 for Mac v. 11.3 on a new MacBook
Pro
running Mac OS X 10.4.8. When I try to save a workbook.....including new
workbooks, the "save" button is dimmed.

I installed Office 2004 from the original CD which I'd used to install it
on
my old laptop. However, I manually copied many files from my old laptop to
the new laptop...perhaps I copied over something I shouldn't have.

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Is there a compatibility problem with OSX 10.4.8?

(BTW..I'm a very experienced Excel user)
