How do I convert a spreadsheet to HTML?
- Ensure that Excel is started.
- If you intend to create a server-based solution, ensure that the prerequisite server environment is set up using the instructions in the section The SpreadsheetConverter server environment below.
- Open the spreadsheet you want to convert.
- Verify that the SpreadsheetConverter menu is available in the menu bar.
- In the SpreadsheetConverter menu, click "Convert".
- Press "Next" to start the SpreadsheetConverter wizard.
- If the "Select output format" page is included in the wizard, select "Pure HTML/JavaScript".
- On the "Select Cells" page, select "Automatic detection" as the selection method. For "Which worksheets?", select "Selected". Press "Next" to advance to the next page of the wizard.
- On the "Presentation and Interaction" page, just press "Next" to advance to the next page of the wizard.
- On the "Select location" page, verify the folder location for the web page that will be created by SpreadsheetConverter. Press the "" button if you want to change the defaults. Press "Next" to advance to the next page of the wizard.
- Press "Finish" to begin the conversion process.
- After conversion, a "Messages and Errors" window appears. In most cases there are only informational messages. For troubleshooting, go to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
- In most cases, the generated web page is automatically opened in your default web browser. Verify the results of the conversion. If you are unhappy with the results you should consider modifying the original spreadsheet in Excel before you attempt to modify the web page.
How do I add an SpreadsheetConverter web page to my web site?
- Ensure that the file is physically included in your web site, i.e. that it is transferred to the same server as the other web pages in the web site using file transfer, a site management utility or a content management system. This guarantees that the page is physically accessible when requested by one of the users of the web site.
- Link the page to the rest of your site. You will need at least one link to the page so that users can navigate to it. If your web site has a menu or similar navigation structure you may want to insert it also on the SpreadsheetConverter page.
- Give the SpreadsheetConverter page the same look-and feel as the rest of your site. Open the SpreadsheetConverter page in your favorite web page editor and format it so that it looks like the other pages on your web site.
