Result from particle analysis saved as XLS is not XLS?

I found this very interesting.

After running a analyze particles I save the results as Results.xls

Interestingly when opening the XLS file is Microsoft Excel 2007 I am told by Exel that it is not a recognized format and I should be careful about opening. Nevertheless allowing the program to open it display the results just as they were saved.

Although this is perfectly alright it's somewhat irritating when trying to further process the XLS files. The reason for this is that trying to import the saved XLS file in MatLab causes an error because of the exact fact that apparently the saved XLS file is NOT a Microsoft Excel file.

Anyone else can verify this?
