software

Here's my situation:

I'm working in an office where no one but me knows HTML. I've created an
HTML document that we'd like anyone in the office to be able to make changes
to content and images. We do not have an HTML editor (and apparently will not
get one), so in order to make the process simple and use a program everyone's
familiar with, my boss asked me to create an excel document with the
following:

One column with the quot;frontquot; part of the code.
A second column with the content and image names.
A third column with the closing tags for the html.

We could then lock the first and third columns and the code wouldn't be able
to be accidentally changed or deleted.

We would then ideally take this document, copy it all into a text document,
and save it as an HTML file.

The problem we're having is that when you copy and paste from Excel, the
program formats spaces inbetween the columns and cells. These spaces are
actually read by the browser, so the tables and etc. are completely thrown
off. I'm wondering if there's a way to format the cells so that if you copy
and paste from them that extra formatting won't be turned on.

Before you suggest another program or creating the entire page in Excel,
believe me when I say that I've tried making these suggestions and they
haven't been acceptable. I'm mildly frustrated, and any help would be
welcome.

Thanks for reading.


Why not try using a Word document and create a FORM in Word and then you
can lock the areas (cells) of the form you don't want the quot;users to be
able to change.quot;--

View this thread: www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=519552Thanks for the reply, wjohnson.

Won't word auto format my links and etc? I don't want that to happen either,
as it also tends to mess up my layout. Thanks!
