    Copyright and Formats with Excel

    I need to save data to a file, worksheet style.
    Is it legal to create an export tool to Excel? I mean, creating XLS files with my app, assuming the user has Excel installed.

    It's completely legal to use Excel from your program if it is installed, Microsoft even provide examples on how to do it (admittedly I think there are better examples on this site!).
