Visualforce page render as Excel issues

Hi,

I am generating visualforce page as Excel by adding "contenttype="application/vnd.ms-excel"" in the <apex:page> tag. The excel is getting generated but formatting is bad... how do i format ? Can anyone give me example.

I got an solution. We should not use CSS 0r style class, instead of that we should do inline styling.

Check my code below:

 

<table  width="100%"id="table1"border="0">

<tr>

<td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td>

<th colspan='2'><font size="2" face="Arial Unicode MS">xxxxx</font></th>

<th colspan='4'><font size="2" face="Arial Unicode MS">yyyyyy</font></th>

 

</tr>

<trstyle="font-size:10pt;">  

<th  colspan="2">

<fontsize="2"face="Arial Unicode MS">Name</font>

</th>

<th >

<fontsize="2"face="Arial Unicode MS">ID</font>
