I have the identical problem, starting a week ago. I have 2007 Office Home
and Student 2007, which I tried reloading today, as the problem seems limited
to Excel files. Same problem. (However, when I paste a spreadsheet into a
Word document, I cannot save that either.)
I have Norton Security, but I have tried turning it off.
I had not updated Office since installing it three months ago, so I updated
it today, including SP1. Still no success.
I cannot open the excel files from a folder, including by right-clicking and
clicking on Open. Nor can I open them under recent documents. The only way to
open them is by opening Excel, clicking on File>>Open and then opening a file
in a file folder.
Any suggestions welcomed.
