Have never heard of this problem being generated through Excel alone.

I would suggest the source would be at the website from which you are
exporting.

Can you post a URL?

I'd like to have a look just out of curiosity.

When I export an excel file from a website the file exports with the file
name of 'seam-excel' and I can't format the cells or create a pivot table
without saving and re-naming the file. How can I get my file to not export
with that file name? Is it a security setting?
