I'm following this thread, and I think at this point we still don't know when does your html get jumbled - when you're extracting it from Excel, or when you're inserting it into the email message. Since I saw you were using Word to look at the saved contents of what you're inserting, I'm just saying you shouldn't use Word for that. Word is too automatic, it will try to convert and fix whatever you give it (as you saw - once you save it in Word, it's fine). So you actually don't know whether your extracted html is OK, you only know it looks good in Word.

See if it still looks good in something else, like your regular browser. That may give you some idea on what's missing.
