Default Formatting Cells/Columns in Excel 97

Actually I'm supposed to extract some data from an InterBase database
server (using Borland Delphi) and dump them into an excel file.

However the exported excel field requirements I was given stated all
these stuffs like Column A = GENERAL (Size 6), Column B = GENERAL (Size
4), Column C = TEXT (Size 20) etc. Thus it's somewhat like a fixed width
column excel file that my client can import into their own programs.

I'm just real puzzled if Excel 97 is able to format the columns to this
extent (fixed width and different field type) so I thought I had better
snoop around here first before I call them back.

Hope this clears up the air. Thanks!
