Default Emailing a sheet to someone that doesnt have excel

Would they be able to install openoffice? It is free, and it will open MS
Excel files. http://www.openoffice.org

ok i use automation from word to generate an excel doc. i make it so that

the
data will fit just nicely on one page, and if there needs to be more than
one, everything is arranged perfectly to fit. and it prints out great, the
problem i have is that i need to be able to email this to someone that

doesnt
have excel. they need to be able to print out exactly what i can print

out,
but without using excel...

there are a few things i could try i think, from dumping the data into an
email in outlook, to making a wordpad .doc file (it cant be a .txt file

since
it needs to have formatting), or even saving the excel sheet as a webpage.
the webpage idea was the closest so far, except that when printed it

doesnt
fit on one page, and the header is missing.

maybe someone knows of a better solution?
much thanks
