Yes, the extention is not relevant, the format is relevant.

This is. Just saving it as myfile.xls does not make it a Excel spread sheet.

You have to select to 'save as' Excel.

Another thread reported problems, Gnumeric crashes.

I tested save as in excel format ages ago, it worked.

Anyway, 1.0.7 is scheduled for a Gnumeric upgrade.
