.xls trailing on end of name for workbook
 

Hi everybody,

On one computer I can save an excel file that would show for example
"Book1", Then on another computer if I try to save a file it saves it
as "Book1.xls", I notice that all the files have this xls attachment on
the end on one computer but not on the other. Why is it doing this and
can it be corrected. The only way I can rename a file on this computer
is by leaving the .xls there?

Thanks for any help

Larry

There is a Windows setting that controls how file names are
displayed. Open a folder window and choose Tools then Folder
options. In the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file
types".
