I have created a prototype exl2k report and I am having a problem with styling the heading
to sit over specific columns.

I would like the string 'AVERAGE SETS PER CASE' to center over columns MODEL DEALER RETAIL
and I would like the string 'PAGE 1' TO START IN COLUMN MARKUP (LEFT JUSTIFIED),

The code is captioned below:

 
-** CALC HEADER TODAY'S DATE

-SET &TODAY = 20130702;
-SET &HRDATE1 = CHGDAT('YYMD','MDYY',20130702,'A8MDYY');
-SET &HDRDAT = EDIT(07022013,'99/99/9999');
-** CALC HEADER TIME
-SET &THR = EDIT(16.33.36,'99');
-SET &TMN = EDIT(16.33.36,'$$$99$$$');
-SET &XTOD = 16 |':'| 33;
-** CALC DATE RANGE
-SET &STRDTE = '06/01/2013';
-SET &ENDDTE = '06/30/2013';

DEFINE FILE CAR
HEADER1A/A50 = 'DATE:'|' 07/02/2013';
HEADER1B/A21 = 'AVERAGE SETS PER CASE';
HEADER1C/A15 = 'PAGE: '|' 1';
-*
HEADER2A/A16 = 'TIME:'|' 16:33';
HEADER2B/A50 = 'FROM'|' 06/01/2013 '|' TO '|' 06/30/2013 ';
HEADER2C/A50 = 'PGM: PIP97323';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
DEALER_COST  AS 'DEALER'
RETAIL_COST  AS 'RETAIL'
COMPUTE MARKUP/D10 = RETAIL_COST - DEALER_COST;
COMPUTE MARKUP_PCT/D6.2% = MARKUP/DEALER_COST * 100; AS 'MARKUP,PCT'

For line 4 you have fields.

Try changing OBJECT=TEXT to OBJECT=FIELD

I changed all line=4 styling to OBJECT=FIELD and it works.

EXL2K is a little different animal that HTML or PDF.

Thanks for your help.
