ColdFusion and Excel 97

[Roukje]

I used

<CFFILE contentType=&quot;application/x-msexcel&quot;
action=&quot;write&quot;
file=...
output=&quot; <table><tr><td>...</td></tr></table>
>

to write out an excel file. That works properly so far. The problem appears, if you use excel 97. In this case, every formating in <table> or <td> tags (like background color oder width of cells) has no effect. Excel 2000 works fine.

Is it possible, to use this format attributes with excel 97?
