Excel exports rendering with extra borders

[goofaholix]

I asked this a while ago but didn't get the answer. A year later at a different employee the issue is still a problem.

When exporting or rendering a report to Excel I get extra borders that are not there in the report definition.

I've tested this by removing all borders from every part of the table and set the background color to white.

I still get thick black borders around each of the celss on the left of the table and on each of the cells on the right.

This was never a problem with SQL Server 2000.

Can anybody tell me what is causing it?

Thanks.

PS: I'll try and upload a link to a screenshot tomorrow
