maintain numeric format in export to excel

[hockeypuck]

I am printing out a report with three different numeric formats : e.g. 5,765 1.56 and 98.3

When I export to excel, the excel spreadsheet appears to take on the numberic format of all three (commas and two decimal). If I select all and set format to 'general' the decimals appear correctly, but the 5,796 loses the comma (5796). Is there anyway to set up excel so the formats or each individual cell are the same as the crystal report they came from?

Any suggestions??

Thanks
