Spreadsheet options apply to spreadsheet file types such as Excel and Quattro Pro.

Email messages are handled as a separate document type, but are currently treated as a subset of word-processing documents. The following WP options are applied to email messages:
layout
Ignore unnamed character styles
Generate list bullets using <li> tags
Break page when hard page break is encountered
Page size
Also, attachments are always converted as separate output files, with a link to each attachment displayed in the email header.
Unsupported file formats are processed using the word-processing options.
A layout can be specified for each document type, to allow the template author to customize the appearance of the output to the type of document being converted.
For multi-section documents such as graphic files, presentations, spreadsheets and databases, the template author can specify a default section label to use if the document does not specify one, as well as specifying formatting for the section label. A simple numbering scheme is used; for example, if "Sheet" is specified as the default title of a spreadsheet, unnamed sections will be titled "Sheet 1", "Sheet 2", and so on, according to the index of the section.
