Hi Phillip. I always keep Windows Internett Explorer on hand for these kinds of things anyways. If Netscape cant deal with it, IE usually can, and that works usually the other way around as well. Just thought that unless one actually had a need for sending a spread sheet complete with formulas and the rest, that changing this to HTML format was the choice. The Excel in Office XP makes the change problem free in a jiffy. Upgrade ! :) Cheers RicB Phillip Ford wrote: > Ron, > > Thanks for posting this. Good stuff.

However, from Netscape, I saved it as a text file and had no trouble then opening the file in Excel. Also, I tried saving this Excel file as an HTML file as you suggested (in my version of Excel there is no HTML option in the Save As function, but there is a Web Page option so I'm assuming that this is what you're talking about). When I did this the format got a little goofed > up. So, I think leaving this as an Excel file was the right approach. > > Phil F > > At 02:25 AM 6/18/03 , you wrote: > >Ron, and others. > > > >Not sure how XLS files show up in other browsers, but in Netscape they > >just come out as random garbage. > > > >XLS files can be very easily converted to HTML documents which post for > >viewing in archives and the like very well.
