Hi All:

Am taking classes for income tax prep and want to publish study sheet for class.

Want to upload Excel spreadsheet on my site. When I try to transfer it to 1st page, it becomes a bunch of sentences with no organization.

If I save it as a webpage, Microsoft puts unwanted question marks in ....

http://www.icdc.com/~drkelly/block.htm ......

so I'd rather do it through 1st page and avoid question marks.

Can someone tell me how to avoid question marks or how to put my excel spreadsheet into 1st page? Where do they come from, anyway?


Thank you. shetawk

Hiya...

If your server has PHP installed, I can post a small script I wrote to open an Excel exported spreadsheet and convert it to an HTML table.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll post it for you.

I kinda worked around it by copying and pasting to MS Word blank page, saving and uploading.

Worked that way; could even adjust table as in excel.

Probably took a lot more space though. Shetawk.

Well, if you wanted students to download the excell file, you could upload it as .xls in ftp, and just simply link to it. To display it though, well, I could suggest a screenshot. YOu could even save it as a csv (comma seperated values) file, and upload that just like the xls. It will oepn in any spreadsheet editor I know.
