Re: [users] .xls produced in OO 1.1.4 is not exactly similar to .xls in M$ Office!

[Walt Pirie]

Another, obviously simple comment. Almost every OO document I create needs 
to be sent to others who almost universally use MS Office. (But yes, I've 
convinced a few to OO.) Anyway, remembering to do a "Save As" every time is 
more than I can manage. The easier way for me is to set OO to always save 
in the MS formats. (Tools, Options, General.) That way everyone can access 
them.

did you create the file with that extension name or did you do a "Save As"?
The native file format is a zipped XML file.
it is only when the filters are applied by a save as, that it truly becomes
an .xls, or .txt file.
