    Default Exporting Excel sheets to html

    Hi there all again.
    Another problem I have ... I am trying to export some linked excel sheets to html, but some pages when appearing on IE bounce like half a page to the right.
    The Firefox displays them correctly but IE just makes a white space and throws the content half page to left. Any ideeas in how to restrict this ?
    I was thinking of wrapping everything with a div tag and then move the div .. sounds viable ?

    I have no direct experience with this. However, it is certainly worth a try. One thing to also look for is centering. IE often misinterprets centering to mean center the element when what is technically correct for the markup is to center the items (usually text) within the element and its children. Things that can cause this are styles that include:

    text-align:center;

    and elements that include the attribute:

    align="center"

    as well as the deprecated <center> tag itself (if used).

    Less likely but possible contributers to the problem are the text-align:left; or right styles as well as align="left" or right attributes.

    One other note, if you use the division idea and it works but throws things off in FF, there are ways to make it so that IE only sees these instructions.

    you may want to save the spreadsheets as PDFs. that way it doesn't matter which browser is being used
