Since I always work in the *nix world, there is no native way (i.e. COM) to read Excel files, since they dont exist on that OS, as they are MS only.
However, what we end up doing is writing out just HTML, tossing the header() of Excel files, and it works wonderfully. Excel reads it just like a big table. Use normal HTML tables, and any inline elements you want. It doesnt understand CSS that much, but you can play with it a little, just keep it inline instead of using classes or ids.
