I use Office 2003 under Crossover 7. Spent a great deal of time designing and populating with data an Excel spreadsheet. When I tried to save it, the only locations accessible were those on my Linux partition. Other "Places" while, readily accessible when navigating in Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) were not accessible from Excel's save dialog.

My workaround was to simply save to the ubuntu desktop and then copy the file from Ubuntu to the location of my choice.

. . . but something must be wrong, either with my approach or with the setup.

Suggestions would be welcome.

Hi,
See this thread for an explanation: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?t=26;msg=36058

I think I did not explain myself well. I could start to 'save as' and navigate to any location in my system, just could not save the file there. Perhaps your reference is the explanation. I don't remember having that problem in earlier versions, and I used to save database files from Access running in Crossover, and then either open them from Access in XP (dual booting) or copy them to some portable storage device and carry them to the office.

In this case, I saved the Excel spreadsheet file to my Ubuntu desktop, then emailed it to myself so that I could download it when I got to the office. That worked out fine.

Thanks for your reply.
