I have a problem. In the Preview Pane I can export to web archive or PDF
fine. When I try to export to Excel, I get a text file with a .xls
extension with the follow contents (obviously not an excel format):

MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Document-Type: Workbook
Content-Type: multipart/related;boundary="----=_NextPart_01C35DB7.4B204430"

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_01C35DB7.4B204430
Content-Type: text/html;
charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Location: file:///c:/Report.htm

Okay. I know what's wrong. I have Office 2000 installed.

This is an MIME format supported by Excel XP and 2003. In Service Pack 1, we
will support exporting to a native Excel format.
