Yes to both. You need to export or save in Excel format or Excel won't be able to read it.

I cannot understamd this site. Thanks for your reply Kappy, but it seems to have emailed me your reply, and it hasn't appeared here?
I have attached an excel spreadsheet via an email to my gmail account. I have opened it on my MAC and it seems fine. I have tried to save it to my documents on the Mac, but am getting the message saying I cannot open it. Any thought?
I want to save it, then edit it (in numbers), and then send it back to my work computer which uses Excel.
Any help, please?

Yes, that sometimes happens with the forum software. I do not see your reply posted either. But I do get the email notifications.

You don't save it as a template unless that's what you wanted. Load the file you made. Select Export to under the File menu. Select Excel from the list of options.

Hi Papillon,

To answer the question in the title of this thread (Do I have the latest version of Numbers?)

With Numbers open, Menu > Numbers > About Numbers to see the version.

The latest version is 3.1.
3.0 was released in November 2013. If you have 3.0 or 3.01, check for updates, because 3.1 has more features than 3.0.

Regards,
Ian.
