Crystal Reports format is off when export to excel

Message

     quick question, the report looks fine in HTML and PDF format, but when export to excel, the rows in the sub report starting on the new page is pushed to the right from the group column headers. if the repeat group on new page is check, then the format is fine but it doesn't look rght since the repeating groups confuse the user on the excel report. shouldn't crystal report be smart enough to know it's an excel doc and there is no such thing as a page break and keep all the groups together?
for HTML report, it looks like

Group 1 
           data | data | data 
----------------------------------new page
Group 1
           data | data | data

but when export to excel, it looks like

Group 1
         data | data | data 
                   data | data | data

is there any option or workaround for this?

thanks
