Excel to HTML, Formatting problem when converting Excel sheet Options

[Baz Baziah]

Hi there,

I'm new around here and hope that I have posted my question in the correct forum.

I am using Excel 2002 with SP3, IE 6 and windows XP. I am currently having poblems when converting excel sheets to HTML and the way they dispaly within a web page.

I convert the sheet using the standard Excel 'save a web page' option but without the 'add interactivity' option checked. The conversion goes well and adding it into the web page goes easy enough. however when I (or others) come to look at the page the formatting, spacing etc. is all jumbled. The level of jumble changes each and every time the page is loaded. However a simple click on the refresh button resolves the problem and the sheet then displays correctly.

Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong ? I'm no expert at HTML (2/10) but know my way around Excel (7/10).

Cheers,


Jim

I expect Excel's HTML output is every bit as horrid as Word's. You probably have to clean it up by hand. Could you link to a sample page, please? Then we can give you better advice.

Here you go, there are three pages listed here. All are part of a fan based Star Tek Game so excuse the 'nerdy' aspect of the content !

Each of them mess up when you first load the page then correct themselves after a simple refresh ?

Thanks for this,

I'm afraid I don't see anything especially jumbled with those tables. Nothing happenes on refresh either. Tried with IE and FF. Did you fix the problem?
