Did You Know?
The Excel Binary Workbook file format is
compatible with Excel 2010 and Excel 2007.
If you want to improve file performance
while maintaining compatibility with earlier
versions of Excel, save your workbook using
the Excel 97-2003 Workbook file format.
This is a binary format that is compatible
with Excel 97 and all later versions of the
program.
Did You Know?
Other than improved performance when
opening and saving a file, there is no
difference between the Excel Binary
Workbook file format and the Excel
Macro-Enabled Workbook file format.
Both formats support the same features,
create files of approximately the same
size, and have the same performance
once the files are loaded into Excel.
