Error in Excel Preview using BIRT all-in-one

Hi Everyone,
I successfully downloaded and install the BIRT all-in-one package from eclipse web-site in my computer and created the sample report. I can preview this report in all forms(html, PDF, Word and Postscript) but except in Excel(I'm using Office 2007). I received this error:
"The file you are trying to open, 'Customers[6].xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Is there any problem with my eclipse installation? I only download/extract the file and save it to my computer.
Pls. help. Thanks,
CESAR

This is due to the format of the Excel file generated by BIRT. BIRT generates it's Excel files in the SpreadSheetML format which was a horrible attempt at storing the Excel spreadsheets in XML. Now Office 2007 follows the Open XML format. If you want BIRT to generate true Excel Binary files you should use the open source Tribix project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/tribix/

Thanks for your valuable input. I already downloaded the extended emitters and copy to my computers using the instructions below w/c I get from the Internet search. However, I had some minor problems, the drop-down options for XLS will no longer display in BIRT. CESAR To install: =========== Dump it in the directory ROOT\birt-rcp-report-designer\plugins\ org.uguess.birt.report.engine.emitter.xls_2.3.0.200807241457 with all its contents and subfolders. In the main root directory you will find the xls-emitter.jar. Do not copy this to the root directory of the plugins directory - it will not work. You'll also need to get the recommended POI jar and dump it in the lib directory i.e. plugins\ org.uguess.birt.report.engine.emitter.xls_2.3.0.200807241457\lib\ poi-3.1-FINAL-20080629.jar You'll also need to rename or delete the original org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.prototype.excel_2.3.1.v20080917.jar If you're using the All-In-One Version of BIRT an Eclipse Project ================================== You do the exact same thing except you do these changes in ECLIPSE_INSTALL\plugins folder
