LION upgrade is causing me greif !

Question

I hope someone can help me out of a jam.  I have an iMac running Office : Mac 2008.  I upgraded to OS X LION  a couple days ago and am now unable to SAVE SOME of my Excel spreadsheets.  Oddly enough,  the majority CAN be saved but some vitally important files are now being seen as READ-ONLY and thus when I revise them they will not SAVE.  I have NEVER created a read-only file in my life so have no idea where this is coming from. Any suggestions ?

I have a similar  issue, . .  on my  2007  I-Mac. . 
I too . ..  up Graded to    LION, ..    from   SNOW LEAPARD   and  with my   QUICKEN  2004 
for the MAC . .   I am Not even able to   Open   any of my    Quicken  Programing. .   and worse
yet..  Quicken  no longer supports   MAC   products. .  and or  also  Power PC  Program to use  
PC based  program to show  Quicken on the a  PC based format . . 
It's been days now. .  from   Quicken  ..  still no response  ?      
The other thought is   reverse to the Snow Leopard  system . .  But   many say  it's not successful 
Others say it works . .  and some say  only  parts work, .   BUT   what does revert  back in  Mixed up   ???
( ** I have  over  70,000 photos  from   I-Photo   and the  the NEW  Lion  program  will not 
  transfer  the  Video  clips   from  the I-Photo  to  E-mail   fromat  ?   )  
Frustration  galore  .. )
