Excel line breaks not working.

I am doing an XSL transformation of a dataset (using a XmlDataDocument) to 
create an Excel XML file.  Everything is working fine except that my header 
cells are not getting the line breaks like I want.  

When I explicitly format the headers in excel the way I want them and save 
the file as XML, the line built by excel is:

<Cell ss:StyleID="sHeaders"><Data 
ss:Type="String">Contrac
Valu
($M)</Data></Cell>

In my XSL transformation file, I have the following line:

<Cell ss:StyleID="sHeaders"><Data 
ss:Type="String">Contrac
Valu
($M)</Data></Cell>

When I do the transformation and save the XML file, the line produced is 
(note the line wrap):

<Cell ss:StyleID="sHeaders"><Data ss:Type="String">Contract
Value
($M)</Data></Cell>

When this is loaded into excel, the linebreaks are gone and the cell text is 
all on the same line.

I have tried putting in the <xsl:preserve-space elements="*"/> into my XSL 
transformation file, as well as XmlDataDocument.PreserveWhitespace = True 
prior to doing the transformation in my code.  This does not help.

The bottom line, is that I need the final XML file to be exactly as show 
below to have excel load this correctly.

<Cell ss:StyleID="sHeaders"><Data 
ss:Type="String">Contrac
Valu
($M)</Data></Cell>


I am using Office 2003, Windows XP, and Visual Studio 2003.
