No, it is quite reasonable to edit the reports AFTER exporting. It's 
what I always do after the accountant said, "Mike, don't bother writing 
custom reports, just export and edit using your favorite editor.

Omer, what is your problem? Why can't you edit the .html reports? Yes of 
course, now that you've switched from MS Windows to Linux you don't use 
Internet Explorer + Excel. Instead you will use whatever browser and 
spreadsheet programs you prefer under Linux.

In other words, while I am running Windows Xp here I am NOT using 
Internet Explorer + Excel. I am using Firefox + LibreOffice. Those will 
work under Linux.
