Microsoft's hideously ugly code that web browsers can kinda cope with (by
ignoring it) and Excel can handle.

Not something that should go anywhere near the WWW.

Error ! M$soft crud detected ! Abandoning Web !


M$oft tools do not make anything like valid or even "reasonable" HTML.
Mucking out their cages isn't an easy job for anyone, let alone a
newbie. If you can possibly use a real tool instead, use it.
