Unable to resize a column from an XLS

[CAPTAINSMILES]

I copied part of an xls into a table cell on a page. I
need to resize the columns but now I cannot resize the
columns on my web page. The columns are actually larger
than from the original xls. What could prevent me from
resizing the columns in the page??
Thanks

If you view the html/code you will see the table/cell sizes as inline styles from the Excel sheet
- remove them

It's also important to realize that you don't "copy" part of an xls into a
table cell. It is exported as HTML, which means that it creates HTML that
approximates the look of the spread sheet using HTML. Don't expect it to
look exactly the same. It isn't. Excel is a proprietary desktop software.
HTML is a non-proprietary Internet markup language. In fact, it won't even
look the same in different browser types and screen resolution settings on
the client.
