Inserting an excel file into frontpage 2003

Andrew,

Watching the frustrating responses to your enquiry, I regret I can't help --
but perhaps you could help me?

In FrontPage 2003, when I try to File/Insert an Excel worksheet, Excel files
don't appear as an option in the 'Files of Type' list.

You mentioned a 'converter' -- so I downloaded and installed the latest MS
Converter Pack for Office. That made no difference.

Do you know of another converter which will cause Excel to appear in my
drop-down 'Files of Type' list when inserting Excel files into a page within
Frontpage 2003?

And yes, Excel is installed on my PC as part of Office 2003.

Thanks,

PAGA

You do not Insert .xls files in a web page
In you FP web
You can File Import the .xls and drag it on a page to create a link to it
or in Excel save as html and File Import it
or paste the range from Excel into a page as a table
Or use Insert Web Components - Spreadsheets
