Hi,

I'm using Mac OS X Version 10.4.4 and running Office v.X.

Since this upgrade, I am unable to save a new Excel workbook. On
clicking "Save As" Excel quits immediately, with no error message. On
reopening Excel, my unsaved workbook reappears, but I am still unable
to save, the same problem occurs over and over again.

I can save changes made to workbooks that already exist by using save,
but as soon as I try to "save as", the same thing occurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Kama

First, make sure you've reset disk permissions, using the Disk Utility
application (in HD:Applications:Utilities).

If that doesn't help, with all Office apps closed, rename the

~:Library:Preferences:Microsoft

folder. Start XL - if the problem is solved, trash the renamed folder
(add back any non-XL preferences that you want to keep).
