[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1523333, member: 46727"] It sounds like the external hard drive with your Office files has been formatted to NTFS. However, even if it is formatted to NTFS, your Mac should be able to read the drive and allow you to copy the Office files. Having said that, it may be that the drive is having problems. Do you still have your Windows machine? If you do, attach the external, and run repair on it. You do that from a command prompt by typing in "chkdsk \f d:" (or whatever drive letter the external has been assigned) [/QUOTE]
