Reporting misconduct

With the introduction of the new version of Office called “Microsoft Office 2007” it has been highlighted that files saved and sent by Referees when reporting misconduct in this new software can’t be opened by Office 2003 because of the .xlsx extension placed at the end of the completed reports.

Could all Referees please ensure that files are saved in the correct version of Office; to do this, just go to the Office button, select “save as” and then “save as type” “Excel 97-2003 Workbook”.
