How to Use an Excel Spreadsheet in FrontPage
FrontPage and Excel are Microsoft applications. FrontPage allows you to create Web pages without HTML while Excel lets you create spreadsheets. Although you can't use Excel's calculations in FrontPage, you can display the contents of the spreadsheet in FrontPage. This keeps you from having to recreate an existing spreadsheet in FrontPage. When you insert an Excel spreadsheet into FrontPage as a file, FrontPage may prompt you to install a converter. FrontPage will install the components that you need for the application. You can modify the spreadsheet as you would a FrontPage table once it's added.
