  <p>What is the correct formatting for a document so that it is recognized in excel?  What character, if you are manually creating it, denotes the end of a column and/or create a new line?</p>
  
  <p>I am manually creating a .xls file, using the file system, and populating it with data.  However, I don't know what excel expects.  No, I don't want to create a .csv file because I don't want the user to be asked to format it when opening it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
