Any downside to saving Excel (2010) file as .xlsm versus .xlsx?

Hello,

Even when it does not contain any macros, is there a downside to saving an Excel (2010) file as a macro-enabled (.xlsm) file versus a typical (.xlsx) file?

Thanks

Thanks, Steve.

I don't often use chat speak or txt abbreviations, and I assume you don't either. Sorry if I caught you unaware.

Here's a low-level intro http://www.pcworld.com/article/153504/fwiw_the_origins_of_net_shorthand.html

If you really want to get into it, take the deep dive with

I guess with voice recognition it will be much harder to use the acronyms than the full words, which kind of defies the intention of the chat speak acronym. Or can you use shortcuts to certain phrases with Dragon NS?

cheers, teylyn
