You used PRE as I did when I originally set up the table on the RIGenWeb site - see http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rigenweb/cemetery/cemetery030.html This works well for few columns. Bottom line on what I did was to use NoteTab Standard (a text editor - although you can also create html with it) to remove all the coding except the basic table codes (see the source of the one below to see how little is left). I realize from the discussion that ideally everything should be in lower case. The actual steps: I save the table from Excel to tab delimited text. I opened that text file in a copy of Word 97 that I keep only for this kind of purpose because it inserts far less junk. I convert it to a table using the tabs to define the columns. If necessary, I change the font and save as html. That html file I open in Note Tab Standard to clean up the code. The result is then pasted into the source of the page. Not elegant, but it works and I've been doing it this way for years so it's quick for me. You could convert from Excel to html and then clean up the code.
