If you want OpenOffice.org to save a spreadsheet in Excel format you need to
ask it specially; it doesn't do that by default. You need to use File>Save
As, then select the appropriate MS format (Excel 97, Excel 95 or Excel 5),
then ensure that the little "Automatic filename extension" box is ticked
(checked) and then enter the name you want to give the spreadsheet without
any ".xls" extension.
OpenOffice.org uses ODF format (Internationally accepted ISO standard)
unless told otherwise.
If you want to change the default i.e. to have OpenOffice.org *always* save
in Microsoft format (unless told otherwise for a particular case), go to
Tools>Options>Load/Save>General and choose the relevant format for each type
of dcument - two drop down lists ("Document type" and "Always save as") near
the bottom of the pane.
