Default Why won't Excel open xls file after I saved it with notepad!

I only saved it in notepad and didn't make any changes except to
delete a letter and then re-type it in. Now Excel refuses to recognize
it as an Excel file, even though I didn't change the xls extension!
What do I need to do to get Excel to recognize it as an Excel
spreadsheet again? TIA! :)
