Can you post the code you are using to export? If it is html you can use css classes.

Hi,

Here is a simple export to excel code that exports to excel without any problems.
Try this out...

protected void btnExportToExcel_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                string attachment = "attachment; filename=Export.xls";
                Response.ClearContent();
                Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", attachment);
                Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";
                StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
                HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

                // Create a form to contain the grid
                HtmlForm frm = new HtmlForm();
                gvSurvoyDetail.Parent.Controls.Add(frm);
                frm.Attributes["runat"] = "server";
                frm.Controls.Add(gvSurvoyDetail);
                frm.RenderControl(htw);
                Response.Write(sw.ToString());
                Response.End();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
                        
        }

Thanks
