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.
X,

Appreciate the input and I already can read the Excel, now I'm writing back to pre-defined .XLT template file.

Do you know any source that might help me there?
