You can load .CSV files into Excel and Word to read them formatted. >I believe either html or PDF format would be a good approach. I prefer CSV. Both HTML and PDF are very restrictive of what recipients can do with the data for their own purposes. CSV is practically infinitely flexible. The only thing I would strongly advise is to put a placeholder between each comma if there is no data to go in there. If you don't do that, the formatting can go haywire. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
