- "Excel to HTML" is used to convert an Excel 4.0 or 5.0 (Mac)
- spreadsheet into an HTML-formatted table, suitable for viewing
- by any WWW browser that supports HTML 3.0. (i.e. Netscape 1.1).
-
- This program was written in AppleScript, with the help of the
- FaceSpan GUI Builder.
-
- It requires:
-
- 1. Applescript must be installed on the machine.
- 2. Original table must be in Excel format.
- 3. Excel 4.0 or 5.0 must be installed on the machine.
-
- To run the program, simply double-click on the icon and follow
- the instructions in the dialog box. You can also drag an
- Excel file onto the "Excel to HTML" icon.
-
- The following Excel formatting features are preserved:
-
- 1. Bold and italic text
- 2. Horizontal Alignment (left, center, right)
-
- The following HTML formatting features may be added and customized:
-
- 1. Include or exclude borders around cells, with a specific width.
- 2. Specific value for cell padding.
- 3. Include or exclude borders around empty cells.
- 4. Customized table caption
-
-
- This list of features may grow, depending on the level of interest
- in this utility.
-
- Because this conversion utility does not alter the values of the cells,
- one may include URLs within the original Excel spreadsheet, and they
- will be "live" in the converted HTML table. This method is often used
- to populate a table with GIF or JPEG images.
-
- The main utility of this program will be to quickly publish an existing
- collection of moderately-sized Excel spreadsheets, without a great amount
- of tedious HTML encoding, and without resorting to the sometimes ugly
- <PRE> method.
