Default % in Filename

Hi Everyone,

I was given a Floppy Disk with a File Created with Excel 97 Using Office
2000.
The Filename is One%20p6.xls, when I Try and Open it ( Scan for Viruses
was Clean ) the Message "File Format is Not Valid" Appears.
I have Done a Google Search and Found that One Possibility could be that
it is a Template ( xlt File Extension ) File, although it Shows a .xls
File Extension. Is there ANY Way that I can Open it Or will I Need to
get Another Copy.
Why does Excel Save with a Percentage in the Filename, I have Heard of
this Before But have Never Experienced it Myself.

Thanks in Advance.
All the Best.
Paul
