Dear developers, I'm just an average computer user who decided to download
the program as an alternative to MS Excel 2003. Gnumeric itself works 100%
but I've encountered a problem as follows:- 

 

1)     I've found that all the previous Excel worksheets saved in my docs
have been converted to Gnumeric file format. 

 

2)     This in itself is not a problem on my pc but when I wish to send an
XLS workbook created in Excel 2003 as an email attachment, this defaults to
Gnumeric XLS file. As I understand it, this would mean the recipient of the
mail would have to have Gnumeric installed to be able to open the file? 

 

3)     Is there a way for me to create Gnumeric files only for those
spreadsheets created using the software and vice versa for MS Excel? Ie I
wish to keep the formats separate from one another. 

 

4)     I've tried uninstalling Gnumeric but when I do, the XLS files in My
Docs still appear as Gnumeric flies irrespective of whether or not they are
or were previously created as MS Excel files. 

 

For your guidance I have the following installed:- 

 

*       Windows XP
*       MS Office Professional Edition 2003

 

Many thanks for you kind assistance. 

 

Sincerely 

 

Chris Cox
