xlsx vs xls

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

I'm in a huge mess. I need someone's help asap. I gave Office 12 Beta a try
and while working in it, saved a document in xlsx format. The trial period is
over and I've uninstalled the software, but I forgot that I need the
information that I've created in xlsx file.

I'm trying to open it in my old Office 2000 and its not opening. I was
wondering if one of you could open this file in Office 12 and resave it in
old xls format, so I can get the content out of it, please..

p.s. For some reason when you download the file from that server its comming
down as zip?? You need to change the extension to xlsx and then open it in
Office 12.

Isn't there a private specific group for the Office 12 Beta?

You'd probably have better luck there.

When I tried to opened the file in Excel 12 beta 1 it report that the file
was corrupt and not repairable. It's not truly corrupt in that I can open
it as a zip and see the pieces but there must be some else wrong. Did you
have beta 1 or a pre-beta 1? It's weird that one of the files in the zip is
called "volDep.xml" while in an XL12 file I created the equivalent file is
"volatileDependencies.xml"

You actually did important work, on important files, using beta
software?????

The original work was done in 2000, but then I've made some changes and
didn't notice that the file type was changed to xlsx. I think it was
pre-beta. None of you can open the file?

I've posted the same message on some other forums as well. Waiting for
replies from there as well. Thanks in advance!

I've unzipped the package as well and found a bunch of xml files. Is there
anyway I can convert/import any of these files into Excel? I've tried already
and it simply shows me the text content of the xml file itself.
