Is it possible to use XLST to set Excel worksheet margins, scaling?

Heres my problem:

I am outputting XML from a dataset and using XSLT to format the output as
HTML and the Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-excel" directive to
load the output as an Excel file running within the context of the browser.
This works fine and the result is a nicely formatted Excel report. I was
wondering if there was any way to also send additional formatting information
like page margins and scaling. I've seen some examples of this using XMLSS
but am not sure how to construct these types of commands in XSLT.

Thanks for any help!

Hello!

This may be possible using the Excel 2003 XML File Format, as the Name
says it's pure XML and can be generated by XSLT without a problem.
I don't know if there exists any documentation, the fastest thing may be
to create an excel document, save it as XML and use it as a base for
your XSLT.
