Nearly three years ago I found a nifty tool to convert Excel to HTML, but then it got lost in the machine failure of last January. I had occasion to go back and look for it, and I found it again. If you have such a need, go here, look under Development Products, and then look for Web Tools. It's an itsy-bitsy download of an executable file which becomes a plug-in within Excel. You have to activate the plug-in once you've installed it, but it does great work while putting far less junk in the resulting web page than the Microsoft Excel-to-HTML utility does.

Posted by: Karan at December 7, 2005 05:52 PMYeah, but you get a whole mess of extraneous lines in your table when you do it that way ("built by Microsoft Excel v. XX" and that sort of thing, as I recall). Go look at my music page (upper left corner for link) and view the source to see how clean this widget does it.
