Subject: Excel 2007 encryption

I am having difficulty finding information on the Excel 2007 encryption
settings.

Issue#1: When I am saving a file in the legacy .xls format, where do I
find
the advanced option that lets me choose the encryption type?

Issue #2: I understand I can change the default encryption type in Excel
2007 by using the "Office Customization Tool" What is the default
customization type? Is there any way other than the Office Customization
Tool to
change the encryption setting for individual documents?

Thanks, Will
