embedding html

Just curious if anyone has any hints to embed HTML directly into a report. I
am doing reports that will be exported to excel when run as a subscription
and using an index (which jump to bookmarks) and page breaks to get each
report onto new tabs.
My current report, done with a different tool, has 2 "Help" tabs that are
formatted text that describe how to interpret the report. I need to
replicate this in reporting services. One problem is that textbox in RS is
way too limited in its functionality.
I could probably link out to an HTML page, but I want the new help tabs to
export to excel along with the report.
Any ideas?I can't think of a way until HTML is supported in text boxes.
