Help Edit Excel doc on phone's SD from Win7

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 phone with a 4GB SD card inserted, when I connect the phone to my Win7 PC I'm able to open files (like pictures, documents, etc) but when I open an Excel file (using Office 2010) it opens in ReadOnly mode, I can't make changes and save it back to the SD card. I can however move the Excel file to my Win7 desktop, edit it, then move it back; but that seems awfully tedious.
Any ways I can leave it on the SD card on the phone and still edit/save it from Office on my PC?

FYI, I used to do this on my Droid 3 all the time, is there a setting I need to change on the S3 to enable me to do this again?
