ODS HTML style for Excel Output

[milts]

Hi Experts,

I would like to use ods html to output an excel file(since tagsets.excelxp creates larger files). However when I try to generate the file using the style sasweb it is not applied on the excel. For seaside, sansprinter, money, it works.

Please see example code below and please point out if I did something wrong?

data x;

    a = 1;

    b = 2;

run;

ods html file="D:\mytest.xls" style=sasweb;

    proc print data=x;

    run;

ods html close;

Hi:

  Try using a Microsoft-friendly version of HTML markup language. Microsoft does not always like the way that ODS HTML specifies style because Microsoft did not like the HTML 4.0 method of specifying style. That destination would be:

ods msoffice2k file="D:\mytest.xls" style=sasweb;

    proc print data=x;

    run;

ods msoffice2k close;
