[SOLVED] GoogleDocs: How to download the spreadsheet as xls

For example you found some nice Google Docs Sheet

https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0ArURTcbhh9uWdGdTVEFFM3FadVlMUE91QVRMQ0VGaFE

and would like to save this document as Excel file. Just add at the end of the URL "&output=xls"

https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0ArURTcbhh9uWdGdTVEFFM3FadVlMUE91QVRMQ0VGaFE&output=xls

also you may like to switch into edit mode (if you have enought rights). Just replace "pub" with "ccc"
