Re: Unfound file extension.
As an aside you should never use an office file to pass on crucial information because it can be changed, unless you passward protect it and I'm not absolutley sure you can do this when sending a file. It should be allowed to send as PDF and even then it can be changed.

Re: Unfound file extension.
If it was me, I would just change the extension after I saved it as an xls file. :) I would bet it will be opened on the other end fine.

Unfound file extension.
I have an Excel document from a state revenue department that is in .xlsx format.OO opens it correctly and allows it to be filled out, but I note that this file extension (.xlsx) is NOT in the available Excel extensions to SAVE the file in. This is a problem since according to the revenue department, when filing electronically, it MUST be in this format.Is there a workaround for this problem, or will I have to file on paper and pay fees? What is the difference between .xls and .xlsx anyway? There IS a way to file the paperwork as an .xml file, but the instructions for THAT are very confusing! An answer is needed ASAP as the form needs to be filed within 20 days of the end of the quarter, (last day of June;) and I do NOT want to have to buy MSOffice when I have been using OO for more than 20 years!
