Viewing the HTML file in a browser.
In addition to the webpage1.htm file, Excel also created a folder named webpage1_files. This folder contains
additional files that must be kept with the main HTML file. Therefore, if you post such a file on a Web
server, don’t forget to also post the accompanying directory.
Creating a single file Web page
In the previous section, you saw that creating an HTML file with Excel also created a folder of additional
files. To create a Web page that uses a single file, choose File ➪ Save As. In the Save As dialog box, select
Single File Web Page (*.mht; *.mhtml) from the Save As Type drop-down list and specify the Entire
Workbook option. Name this file Webpage2.mht. Click Save to create the file.
Figure 28.3 shows the file displayed in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Web Options
I
f you save your work in HTML format, you should be aware of some additional options. In the Save As
dialog box, click Tools and choose Web Options. You’ll see the Web Options dialog box, which lets you
control some aspects of the HTML file. Most of the time, the default settings work just fine. However, if you
plan to save Excel files in HTML format, familiarizing yourself with the options available is worthwhile. These
options are described in the Help system.
