.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 -- keithl816 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ keithl816's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=21287 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=493598 |

.xls trailing on end of name for workbook
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". -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "keithl816" wrote in message ...
