<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">Hi all</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">Looking into a new project, i.e. generating a MS Excel XML compliant document (Office XP Pro) to be used downstream for reporting purposes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">I have been playing around with it and I seem to be stumped with the namespaces they (MS) use. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">For example:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana"><Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Verdana"> xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Verdana"> xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Verdana"> xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Verdana"> xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Verdana"> xmlns:html="<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" TARGET="_blank">http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40</A>"></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">Has anyone done this before? How do I get JDOM to create these specific types of namespaces? (or even multiple ones . . .)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">Thanks in advance.</FONT>
