I try it in it looks fine.
But there are some points witch I don't understand:
1. How can I use the range support? There is no parameter in the viewer
where I can set this value.
How can I see all the information in just one page.
2. How can I activate the show grind feature.
3. How can I activate the remove blank rows feature.

I try to look up the code, but without success.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks,
Carlos Dias

Meanwhile, the viewer doesn't expose any interface to pass any emitter
configuration in. You have to tweak the viewer source code to get this.

For use with standalone report engine, here is a doc decribes how to:

Hi,
for showing the gridlines you can use:

xlsConfig.put("show_grid_lines",new Boolean(true) );

there are other couple of propertirs we can set are

public static final String KEY_REMOVE_EMPTY_ROW = "remove_empty_row";
public static final String KEY_SHOW_GRID_LINES = "show_grid_lines";
public static final String KEY_PAGE_RANGE = "page_range";
public static final String KEY_FIXED_COLUMN_WIDTH =
"fixed_column_width";
public static final String ALL_ODD_PAGE = "odd";
public static final String ALL_EVEN_PAGE = "even";

I got these from XlsEmitterConfig class. I haev seen show_grid_lines works
fine but for others I am not sure.
