Issue in downloading OOALV report in .html format

Hi Team,

We have a report with different colors in each column based on business requirements.

To retain the color while downloading instead of using OLE approach we are doing as follows:

1.Click on save as ->HTML format and save file in .htm format.

2. Open saved file and copy entire ouput to excel.

This is working fine. But the issue is if in column more than two spaces are there between two words(for eg MAT    /1001),

Then multiple spaces are compressed to single space(displayed as 'MAT /1001' instead of 'MAT    /1001') while downloading.

Please suggest if you have come accross similar problem.

Regards,

Greeshma.
