Sample 35781: Prevent a line break character from creating a new row in Excel when using the MSOffice2K destination
When a physical line break is added using the MSOffice2K destination, the line that is output might go to a new row in the Excel worksheet. The new row is introduced by the <BR> HTML tag.
To prevent the new line from going to a new row in the Excel output, a Microsoft Office-specific style sheet property can be used. The MSO-DATA-PLACEMENT style sheet property is responsible for determining whether the new line goes to a new row. Specifying the value "same-cell" as the value for this style sheet property will override the default, which is to add a new row of data in the worksheet with the new line.
See the sample code on the Full Code tab for an illustration.

The HEADTEXT= option is used to add the MSO-DATA-PLACEMENT style sheet property to the header of the file, preventing the label AGE from adding three new rows in the worksheet.
ods msoffice2k file="c:\temp\temp.xls"
headtext="<style> br {mso-data-placement:same-cell}<style>";
