FORMAT EXL07

Using XLSPAGESETS will automatically set the page margins to the default values of .25 inches. This will cause a change for procedures from EXL2K to EXL07. The only page setup feature supported in EXL2K is orientation. Margins are set to the Excel default for a new workbook: 1 inch top and bottom and .75 inch left and right.

The generated PDF file will contain only the characters required to render the document.

HTML HFREEZE Reporting Feature Implementation Change

An implementation change was required for the HTML HFREEZE reporting feature to fix alignment issues and provide non-Internet Explorer browser support. The HFREEZE measuring mechanism uses an extra data row to calculate the column width correctly. The report width measuring mechanism will use an extra data row. For the row of data to be measured properly, the extra data row has to be visible. This visible extra row increases the space on the report in each of the three HTML table (<TABLE>) sections created for the report HEADING, column titles and data, and FOOTING. The extra space has been minimized and must be displayed to measure the width of the columns correctly.

The implementation change also provides non-Internet Explorer browser support with the HFREEZE reporting feature. The HFREEZE reporting feature is certified with the following browsers when using the WebFOCUS 8 WebFOCUS Client with a Release 7.7 Version 04 Reporting Server.
