Note on downloading XL2007 files
 

I recently downloaded an XL2007 addin from a website. The file arrived on my
hard drive with extension ZIP. Back on the website I right clicked the link
and looked at properties: the link, as expected, was to a file with
extension XLAM. I right clicked the link again, and tried Save Target As but
again it offered a ZIP file.

Of course, we know the new Office document format is really a collection of
files in a zip wrapper, so I just renamed the file and used it.

Odd that IE6 sees a ZIP file when pointed to a XLAM file. Even stranger is
that FireFox saw an XLAM file.

The same problem occurred with a Word addin file.

Maybe this note will help someone.
