Is it possible to show one in Freepages? Bruce

Its called a table. Anything done in a spreadsheet can be done in a table.

BUT do NOT use Microsoft programs to create an html table. What a mess of code MS makes! And it is terrible to clean up the code.

Bruce, As Billie has stated, spreadsheets contain data that can be presented exactly as it would be in tables. I have in the past described in detail how to convert a spreadsheet into a HTML table, and I'll post a link to it when I find it. In simple terms; make a copy of your spreadsheet, then insert columns containing the HTML table code per:- 1.. To left of first column in first row <tr><td> 2.. To the left of each remaining column in first row </tr><td> 3.. After last column in first row </td></tr> 4.. In each of the new columns, Fill Down the HTML content. 5.. Finally, add <table> to <tr><td> in first row / first column, and </table> after </td></tr> in the last row / last column. You should now save this file with .xls or equivalent extension. Once saved, Copy and Paste the contents into a new page of your Text Editor, then save as 'yourname.txt'. You now have a table that can be inserted into an existing HTML page - by the Copy & Paste method, then styled preferably using CSS until it displays the way you'd like it to.

My method is to create/open the spreadsheet in Libre Office [ or microsoft office or open office - whatever you have ] then export to an HTML file. I then have to "fix" the html but using the "Replace" function of whatever editor you choose you can delete masses of bad code in a short time.
