[GNC] GNU generated report in HTML to XL

[Finbar Mahon]

Hello again.

I think I solved the problem.

I did what David suggested, but copied the whole doc, title and 
all,after 'select all. Then I tried just the data, no title, it worked! 
Offered me all the 'paste' options in calc....

Don't ask me why!

Thanks, Barry
