AS400 Reports Into MS Excel - Formatting

["Rick Rayburn" <the400man@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would not be surprised if this question has already been posed but here 
goes anyway:

I have a request to create a recurring job which entails running a 400 - 
based report and dumping it into an EXCEL spreadsheet. In the absence of CA, 
I have been using a BoS-A-Nova file transfer utility to convert the document 
into a text file. When I open it in EXCEL, I then get the "formatting 
wizard" which walks through the final steps to view the report properly.

My question is, will I have to format this EACH TIME I bring in the report? 
Is there anyway to create a permanent format shell that will handle this 
task without the constant manual attention?

Thanks for the input.
