Expand cells in .xls file created in unix
Hi Guys,

I am creating a comma separated file by quering the table and routing it to a file with an extension .xls.

I am using the mailx command to send the .xls file to windows mail box.

The file is coming as a excel attachment, but the cells are not expanded.

Is there a way by which we can expand the cells in the excel attachment.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers!!!!!!!!!
