using CSS to format Excel - 11/29/2004 21:37:10   
I've found a lot of code that be used to help with formatting a page for Excel...for example
@page {
mso-header-data:"Date &D";
mso-footer-data:"Page &P";
margin-top: 1in ;
}


but I've been searching for a list of all the "mso" properties, and I can't find one. Google has a bunch of code, but no explanations. Anyone know where I could find one?

Thanks!

Hi tmat311
Welcome to outfront.

Could you explain what mso is? This might just give you a tad more help.

I'm not familar with Excel as of yet, but I'm sure that someone would be able to help you out.

mso = microsoft office

Ter Mat - Did you save the HTML file direct from Excel? The mso property is CSS coding as produced by MS Office programs, nothing else, you would be better off exporting the spreadsheet as a table to FP, not using it as a web authoring program

Thanks for the replys. I'm actually creating an HTML table from an Access DB, but I wanted the user to be able to download an Excel version of the table. After a bit of trial and error, I realized that I could manipulate the "look" of the Excel files through the CSS.

Anyway, I found what I was looking for on the MS website: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnoffxml/html/ofxml2k.asp

Thanks again.
