Moving data from PC to Laptop
For home use, I have a PC with Win7 Professional and a Laptop with Win7 Home Premium. I installed the same MS Office 07 on each unit and hoped to be able to move data from one computer to the other as needed.
The PC is my primary unit and I want to keep some of the Office data (documents from Word & Exel) current on the laptop for those times when I travel and need some of that new and current information with me.
Question: When I plug my flash drive (32GB) into the PC and transfer MS Word "documents" into that flash drive everything seems to work as planned. I'm able to see the data present on the flash drive and open it accordingly before I unplug it and move to the Laptop. However, when get to the laptop and open the contents of the flash drive, no data is present. When going to the Laptop's Start/Computer/Drive E, I notice highlighted data present in the flash drive but I'm unable to open it for viewing or for transferring into the laptop's Office program.
Note: I recently transferred a single Excel worksheet from my PC to my Laptop using the same [above] process in order to import and update my Laptop's address book and everything worked fine. Moving data via an Office "folder" hasn't been as successful.
Thanks.
