Converting Excel

[JOHN PRICE]

I have to send customers price lists produced in Excel as a attachment, I
have one or two who email back and say" they do not support Excel could I
convert to a Word document". Is this possible and how do you do it ? I am
using Word and Excel 2000.
Thank you to anybody who can help.
John

If you don't have any macros in there, then send them the Excel viewer as well,
or point them to the download. It's a small file and will allow them to view
and print. Much better idea IMO.

Hi John

I'd use "Save As Webpage" in the file menu. Easier than Word an platform
/software independent. (Still a little bloated, though ;-)

John,

Also, Word can open Excel files. Be careful saving them, or it will
overwrite the Excel file with the Word file, which is just data -- no
spreadsheet functionality.

Be very very very careful. Word tend to have this Autosave feature on that
destroys opened Excel files all by itself.

Harald,

Oh, no. Then it's even worse than I thought. This Word behavior is utterly
inexcusable, and was in Word 97, 2000 and 2002. Anyone know about 2003?
Does it also overwrite an opened xls file with the xls extension (thus
permanently converting it to a Word doc and losing all spreadsheet
functionality)?

You know that stuff you butter in the morning for your breakfast. There's your
file for what it is worth afterwards
