It depends on who you expect to use this file and what you require them to have. 1. If you want users to be able to use Microsoft Excel (the reason for .xls, yes?), your users will see warning messages in the latest versions of Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office correctly processes the file whether you use either .xls or .xml, but the preference is for .xml now. 2. If you want users to be able to use the file in OpenOffice, whether named .xls or .xml, they will have to have Java installed. I don't believe this is an option for LibreOffice and it is an extra burden on users for current releases of Apache OpenOffice. It is about who you are serving and how you want to demonstrate care for them. Have you considered saving it from OpenOffice as a PDF? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
