Q: How do I export to Excel 2010?

It seems the export function only exports out to an earlier version of Excel.  Is there a way to export a Number file to Excel 2010 version?  Thanks!

    No.

     

    Numbers '09 (as its name implies) was developed before the release of MS Office for Mac 2010, and supports writing to only the .xls MS Excel format. Numbers will open .xlsx files, and Excel 2010 can, unless MS has changed the rules, both open and save to the earlier .xls format.
