Whenever I open a new file, it's created in the compatibility modus. How can
I avoid that? And how can I convert an .xlsx file in compatibility modus into
a a true .xlsx file. Probably trivial, but the help function offers no help
(that can be accessed anyway).

Thanks!

Do you have a BOOK.xlt in your XLSTART folder left over from an earlier
version?

I found when I installed 2007 along with my 2003, the Book.xlt was also used
by 2007 as a New workbook.

It opened in compatibility mode.

Removed that file from XLSTART and now no problems.
