Default Importing French (Canadian) format html pages

I produce html tables in both English and French.
The French tables have percentages in the French style: a space between the
number and the '%' sign. When I open the file in Excel 2000, it outsmarts me
and converts the format to the English style - no space before the '%' sign.
I could define a custom format with the pattern '#0 %' but I have a lot of
cells with percentages scattered around my sheet and I would have to select
each "percent" cell if I wanted to copy the format.
Note: the file also has large numbers with a "space" character for the 1000s
separator and currency amounts with the '$' following the number (and
separated by a space). I suspect this is just because Excel does not detect
the the value was originally numberic, since they have embedded spaces. Why
does it not do the same for my percent values?
