Does anyone know if it is possible to format the Excel spreadsheet (dynamically created using ColdFusion and pulling from a MySQL database) to have the Excel file automatically set to landscape, rather than portrait for printing. My client wants that Excel spreadsheet formatted for him. I have the borders and colors and headers set, but I'm told they've seen this done before, so I was hoping someone could tell me how, or point me in the right direction. I've done a google search, but can't find anything about this. The only way that I can imagine it could be done, is if the data is being put into an Excel file that is acting as a template, with all the features set in advance, but I don't know if that's possible using ColdFusion, nor have I ever seen it done. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
