Probably best give some background to this call first. We use a product in school called SIMS database to record pupil/staff/contact data - the reporting tool outputs to MS Office (Word/Excel), text (plain & CSV format) among others. We have been using Office 2010 for some time but Office 2016 is now being rolled out to us. This problem has occurred only since then...
Reports which output directly to excel are now using the spaces as column breaks (this is not a CSV output - which I get could be set to run this way in the wizard), this s completely mucking up any formatting of column headers.

Has anyone come across this before? And how was it rectified?

TIA,
Ian
