A DOS editor is not capable of reading a standard Excel file. An Excel file must be opened with Excel or some application that can read Excel files. Text editors are not capable of doing that. They are designed for working on things like text files.If you have a standard Excel file and save it as a text file, then text editors can open them. All that will be in that is pure text, and not things like formulas and calculations and formatting etc. When you are saving as a text file, save it with a txt extension and most text editors will be able to open it. How you specifically do it will depend on the particular text editor you are using.
The standard extension for Excel workbooks is xls for versions up to 2003. Excel 2007 uses xlsx as its extension for workbooks.

That will depend on what you want to do. If you are in Excel saving as a standard Excel file, you don't need to change the file type. It is only if you want to save into a different format, that you would change the File Type. What you change it to, would depend on what you need. You might want to change to a different version of Excel or maybe into a completely different format, such as a text file. If you are working in a different application, saving something to be used in Excel, then again it will depend on what format you actually need.
