I'm in WebFocus DevStudio 7.62 (Server is 7.64) and am trying to use an Excel Template so that the Excel report will have some pre-set print setups (landscape, fits on one page...).

I'm not having any luck... I thought that 7.6 was supposed to deliver this? Has anyone got any workarounds on this?

If you're using Excel templates then the most controlled method would still be VBA. It's not hard and I always add a line to force the save format to xlNormal to recover the extraneous white space that results from with mso/xml - you can reduce the file size by as much as 66%.

If you're unsure as to the code required, then just turn on recording and style away. Capture the macro produced and adjust as necessary before putting it within your template.

Take a look at the following, the included VBA does exactly what you want.
