Excel as webpage

[Mark G.]

If I use the option to save as webpage using Excel 2003, will the data saved
be able to be viewed in all browsers? If not, then what are limitations?

What if I use the option to publish and all? If I add interactivity, it
seems that someone viewing on the web would also have to have excel with
this to work properly, correct? Or does it write it out as JavaScript or
something? If they have to have Excel, then would it have to be the same
version?

And lastly, when I do save it and then want to try and open it in an html
editor like Front Page 2003, why does it always revert back to Excel? There
are some thing I would like to do in it in Front Page, but can not because
it just automatically switches me to Excel. Is there a way around this?
Limitations?

Anything else you can tell me on all of this would be great. Thanks much.

Can't anyone help me address this?

If you looked at your license and it said something to the
effect that you may not even allow access to interactive web pages
from Excel to anyone who does not have Microsoft Office Web
Components would you need anymore information on this, because
that absolutely kills using it on the world wide web, and restricts it
to a Intranet application provided everyone on your Intranet has the
Web Components -- essentially meaning everyone is licensed to
use Office products. So much for being able to produce interactive
web pages -- no good if people aren't allowed to use them.

Upgrade to Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 or later To view a Web page that was saved with interactive data and have all
the text appear correctly, you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later and have the Microsoft Office Web Components
(Microsoft Office Web Components: Interactive components, such as worksheets, charts, and PivotTable lists on Web pages that
facilitate data analysis. To use these components, you must have a Microsoft Office license.) installed.

Front Page is part of Microsoft Office and all the round tripping code
is there for Front Page to make it look like Excel.

What if I just save it as a webpage? Although when doing that, because it
has 8 worksheets, it also creates those tabs on the webpage. Is this just
JavaScript and will it be seen by others no matter what is on there machine?
Or for this to be effective, do I need it as one worksheet and then it will
be like a regular webpage so to speak? Thanks much.

Hi Mark,
Yes you can save as a web page as long as it is not interactive.
You will get a mess of files and at least one folder created and
they are big files but you will know that they
will look like the original if that is important to you. It will take
less work if you have to keep redoing it.

Not sure that I understood you. With the worksheets it has a little
interactivity, it does save a folder with some pages, but other html pages
and then an xml and css page. With that, it seems others would be able to
view. Correct? Thanks much.
