Excel Worksheets and Web Pages

The subject of this tutorial is turning your worksheets into Web pages that you can publish to your Web site, either publicly on the World Wide Web or on your company's more private intranet.

When you convert worksheets into Web pages, you have a choice between saving their data in static HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) tables or lists or in interactive ones that users can manipulate online - as long as they're running Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.0 or later (6.0 is the current version as of this writing). Interactive Web pages use special programs called Office Web Components that provide the person browsing the Web pages with a set of limited controls for making basic changes to the worksheet data and charts online.
