Adding an Excel Spreadsheet to a project

**danboyk** · 02-17-2005

Hi guys,

I'm sure the solution to this problem is simple, but how does one add an Excel Spreadsheet to the project? Just like you would do for Power Point when there is a table of data you want to show. When I try to bring the sheet in to my project, it just adds it to me docs folder but will not show up on my page layout.

Thanks for the Help

It is pretty easy, you're right. Just SaveAs the .xls to a Web page (.htm) and then drag-n-drop it inside your project!

Then you can adjust the size of the window and the Web Object to fit your needs. Now, that's just for the end-user to view your document.

I hope this helps?

If you are in a controlled environment and can be sure the user will have Excel, then you could also use the web object to open the XLS file too.

If usings worms suggestion you could run a dependacy check for Excel on the users PC and prompt to install the free viewer if not installed.

No problem and I am glad it helped out danboyk.

Tip: you can center that Spreadsheet in the Web Object by opening the .htm file and inserting <CENTER> just after the <body> tag and </CENTER> just before the closing </body> tag.
