So you saved as xl95, then went to resave and it was back to xl97 ?
I can not replicate that.

There were problems with the excel 97 files produced by gnumeric
before 1.2.5 when attempting to load them in locales other than
north america.  Our testing didn't pick it up.  1.2.5 should have
fixed it.  If you have any workbooks that do not export cleanly
_please_ contact me immediately.  round tripping xls files is a
primary goal.

Please send me a sample of the problem and I'll ensure that things
are fixed for 1.2.6 which is due any day now.
