ExcelBanter - Changing to Landscape mode automatically

I am trying to use HTML/XML to import an HTML report into Excel 2002.
I am having problems setting up the worksheet so it will print in
landscape mode. I want to use XML since I ultimately want to create
one workbook with several worksheets.

I can get most of my formatting done, but I can't change to landscape.
I think the "mso-page-orientation" should work, but it doesn't. What
is even more confusing is that the report will be landscape if I open
the report in Excel, but it isn't if I have the HTML/XML program open
it.

Here is the HTML/XML code I want to use to read in the HTML report.
This file is saved with an "XLS" extension.

<html xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
<head
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"
<meta name="Excel Workbook Frameset"
<titleReport Title</title
<xml
<x:ExcelWorkbook
<x:ExcelWorksheets
<x:ExcelWorksheet
<x:NameHTML Report</x:Name
<x:WorksheetSource HRef="h:\test2.html" /
</x:ExcelWorksheet
</x:ExcelWorksheets
</x:ExcelWorkbook
</xml
</head
<body</body
</html

Here is the HTML report I want to import. It's name is test2.html and
is read by the previous file.

Can anybody tell my why it won't go to landscape when I use the
HTML/XML program? Or can anybody suggest an alternative to getting
landscape to work?

Thanks for your help.
