Is there any way that I can save my microsoft office files (word, powerpoint, etc.) to a external harddrive and then put them on my new desktop? If so, how do you go about saving the whole program?

I'd appreciate any help anyone could give..

Hey mnthom5,

Welcome to the GeeksToGo Forum Boards!

Ofcourse there is a way!

What you have to do is, just follow my instructions below:

1) Plug in your external HD (USB I'm assuming) into the computer in which you wish to create your Office Files
2) After completing your documents, Press : File>Save As
3) From the top address bar - Please choose the appropriate location of your External HD. It should show up in My Computer
4) Safely Remove the HD after adding all the needed files on the Externa
5) Plug in the External HD into the computer that would be RECEIVING the files.
- Go to My Computer (after plugging in the HD)
- Locate the HD and you are now set to transfer the files to where you wish.
(you can drag them into a location, or drop them on the desktop, or Right-Click and Send To>My Documents)

Hoped this helped. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!!

The documents you can save anywhere you like.
However you cannot transfer programs from computer to computer, you would need to run the Setup CD on the other machine. You can't just copy a bunch of files from a computer and expect the program to work.

Ah yes. Neil Jones is right. I misread what you had originally wrote, mnthom5.

It is not possible to transfer the Office Suite from one computer to another, without the original CD.
