Excel8 Specifies the Biff 8 File format which is the default file format of Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002 (XP) and Excel 2003. This format is also supported by Excel 2007. Typically saved with the .xls filename extension.
OpenXMLWorkbook Specifies the Excel 2007 Open XML file format. Typically saved with the .xlsx filename extension.
XLS97 Deprecated in favor of FileFormat.Excel8 to make the SpreadsheetGear API more like Excel's API. Use FileFormat.Excel8 for Excel 97 through Excel 2003 workbooks.
