Excel Format different from PDF and Image

I have a report that looks good in .PDF and .tif format, but really bad
in Excel format. Can anything be done about this?
Thank you!Carol,
At the heart of things is the fact that .PDF and .TIF simply render an
image of the report while Excel is trying to insert the entire report,
including headers and footers, into a viable spreadsheet.
Without seeing the Excel output, it's tough to know for sure what
issues you're having but typically the problem with Excel is it inserts
additional columns (and sometimes rows as well) that don't exist in the
original report design.
The cause is that the left and right borders of some report objects
(text boxes, etc.) are not lining up in the different report sections
and/or data regions. For example, if there's a text box in the page
header that's 1" wide and then a 1.25" wide table column in the body
(under the 1" header text box), Excel will render that into two
columns. That's a pretty basic example but the problem greatly
exacerbates if you're using free-form data regions or multiple tables
or tables with subreports.
Unfortunately, the only way to resolve this is to manipulate everything
in the report design to line up as much as possible. It helps to use
the various width and height properties to set things to match up
exactly as opposed to relying just on "eyeballing" it.
Hope this helps.
