WORKAROUND I assume this file is being computer-generated in XML and that is why that format is chosen rather than true .xls format. I suggest that the file be renamed to have extension .xml (since that is even what Microsoft Office 2013 and Excel prefer). I further suggest that the file be opened in Excel and save as .xls as a way to make a form that can be interchanged and also used in OpenOffice without requiring Java and an under-used conversion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
