Mechanic put wrong ATF in my tranny??!

Hi,
I just took my car to a independent Volvo/Saab mechanic shop today and paid over $200 for a transmission service.
I picked up the car right before they closed. Driving home, I took a look at the invoice and the trans fluid on the invoice says DexronAutomaticTransFluid.
Is Dexron the same thing as Type F? Do they make a Type F fluid under the Dexron name?
I knew I should have demanded Type F fluid, but since they work on Saab's and Volvo's exclusively, shouldn't they know to only use Type F?
Am I safe? Or is Dexron the ATF we should NOT use on OG 900's? If Dexron is bad, I will have to call them on Monday and hope they are truthful on whether it was Dexron or not. Please, if anyone can respond asap or over this weekend I would sure appreciate it. Thanks
