Excel table to HTML - some columns too wide - help!

[Hodad]

Hi, I am trying to create a table for a webpage, and since
I know almost nothing about webpage authoring, someone
suggested that I create the table on Excel and then convert
it to HTML. I know next to nothing about Excel either, but
I was able to easily create the table on it nonetheless.

The problem is, when I use the conversion option within
Excel, the result is a table that has one or two columns
in the middle about four times wider than the rest. They
all should be 2.17 wide, with columns at each side about
two times wider. I have monkeyed with everything, but all
that happens is that the wideness shifts to other columns,
but doesn't go away. The table should have two columns at
each side

thanks for any suggestions.

Dale

Hi Hodad
One way is to open the *.HTM fiel with Notepad.
Now search for a string like this.

<td class=xl223262 width=372 style='width:279pt'>Field2</td>

Replace the '279pt' with the size that you want.
