[QUOTE="2trout, post: 1796331, member: 257508"] Hi, I am running High Sierra on a 2014 Mac Mini. I recently did a carbon copy of my OEM HD to an SSD HD, all went smoothly, no issues there. I was running MS Office for MAC 2011 and have a bunch of saved Office files, mainly Word and Excel. After creating the carbon copy onto the new SSD, I had to re validate the copy of MS Office for MAC 2011. For a number of reasons, I could not do that and ended up buying MS Office for MAC 2016. Now, I can open all my files I created with the 2011 version of MS Office for MAC, but I cannot save them. When I try to save a particular file using [B]SAVE AS[/B], it seems to go through the saving motion, but than this error message comes up: [B][I]YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO SAVE FILES TO THIS LOCATION. Make sure that you have write access for this location, or select a different location.[/I][/B] I checked the permissions under [B]Get Info[/B] when right clicking on the folder in question and under [B]Sharing & Permissions [/B] it shows that [B]Privilege[/B] is set to [B]Read & Write[/B] I am at a loss as to what I need to do. I also checked under preferences in Excel etc but cannot see anything obvious to change file saving setting in there as well. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. [/QUOTE]
