Large table in web page

[Kim]

Hi,

I have to insert a large table with hyperlinks into a page in FrontPage 2003
and unfortunately, copying and pasting the cells in from Excel has been the
only way I can retain the formatting I need.

If I save the Excel sheet as a web page and make it an included web
component, I lose most of the formatting (lines no longer wrap in cells and
text gets cut off and the fonts are not right.) Copying and pasting the
cells in makes the page huge and it takes a long time to download.

I have broken the table into smaller pages for faster download speeds but we
still want to offer the entire list (table) as one page.

Is there a better way to do what I need to do?

The page is at:

http://butterfliesofamerica.com/list.htm

....and it takes 1-3 minutes to download on a high speed connection. It's
out of reach for those with dial-up!

Thanks in advance,

The tables are huge...I would think a db would be a better solution.
