convert to different type of excel extension

[stirlsa]

I mistakenly changed my big spreadsheet to xls.htm. I tried to fix it and then I mistakenly changed it to .xls_files

Neither of these spreadsheets print properly. Now when I go 'save as', a regular xls extension is not available. How can I get back to a plain old spreadsheet .xls??

Thanks for your help.

Are you saying that in the Save As dialog box under "Save as type" the dropdown no longer includes "Microsoft Office Excel Workbook(*.xls)"?

oops

I just figured out that if I opened it in Windows, I couldn't save it as an .xls but when I opened it from EXCEL, then I could.
