Subject: Re: exporting attributes

I was playing around this morning with some of the Excel spreadsheets we create from filePro.  These are done as dif files.

<< Excel opens XHTML files just fine, try saving your document in a standard XHTML format.
Instead of using an .csv or .htm extension, use a regular .xls or .xlsx.

To format content, use CSS.

Jose,

You understand that I am generating these from filepro (export - dif format)? I guess I could write these as an HTML table.  Is there any difference I should be aware of between HTML and XHTML?

Thanks
Rick
