Default xlsx vs xls

The original work was done in 2000, but then I've made some changes and
didn't notice that the file type was changed to xlsx. I think it was
pre-beta. None of you can open the file?

I've posted the same message on some other forums as well. Waiting for
replies from there as well. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm in a huge mess. I need someone's help asap. I gave Office 12 Beta a
try
and while working in it, saved a document in xlsx format. The trial period
is
over and I've uninstalled the software, but I forgot that I need the
information that I've created in xlsx file.

I'm trying to open it in my old Office 2000 and its not opening. I was
wondering if one of you could open this file in Office 12 and resave it in
old xls format, so I can get the content out of it, please..

p.s. For some reason when you download the file from that server its
comming
down as zip?? You need to change the extension to xlsx and then open it in
Office 12.


You actually did important work, on important files, using beta
software?????
