This does not seem to be an XSL problem; it seems to be an Excel 
problem. You have been successful in making XML that the application 
imports; your problem is with the behavior of the application AFTER 
it receives the XML. While I am sure that the problem you describe is 
troubling, you are describing a problem with a specific application, 
not a problem with XSLT or XSL-FO, thus it is not in scope for 
XSL-List.

List members: If you are inspired to answer off-topic questions 
please do so off list. I admire the generosity of those of you who 
try to help everyone, but prefer that you do so without cluttering 
the list. Thank you.
