Joining Jim on this - as per my workflow I have to work with
1. .xls + .xlt file types forwarding these to the ROW as MS Excel files
2. .ods + .odt file types storing and emailing as odf

As the 'Save as' function saves automatically in the file type specified in 'Options - Load/Save - General', changing the file name will inadvertently lead to saving in pre-selected file type.
Keeping the file-type of the original instead of rigorous keeping on default may be found advantageous (like OOo does).

Which OpenOffice.org version does this? NeoOffice 3.1.2 is based on OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 so your post implies that Oracle's OpenOffice.org engineers added this new feature in a very recent version.

I just checked and the behavior you describe occurs in OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 (the version that NeoOffice 3.1.2 is based on) so this appears to a bug in the NeoOffice code. It appears that the file type list box is not getting properly set so it defaults to the first one in the list which is always an ODF file format.

I will investigate this particular bug and post when I have some news to report.

FYI. I have split this discussion into its own separate topic in the NeoOffice Support forum since this bug is a very different issue from the "Save Copy As" new feature request discussion that it was found in.

I think that I have fixed this bug. Can you install the following test patch and tell us if selecting the File :: Save As menu sets the "File Type" field to the current document's file type like OpenOffice.org does?:

Intel:

FYI. I have included the fix for the OpenOffice.org incorrect Notes setting bug in NeoOffice 3.1.2 Patch 1. You can download the patch from the NeoOffice patch download page.
