Understanding the Different Web Formats

You can save an Excel workbook so that it’s viewable in a Web browser. When you save an Excel

workbook for viewing on the Web, you have two options:

l An HTML file: Produces a static Web page, plus a folder that contains support files. You

can create the HTML file from the entire workbook or from a specific sheet.

l A single file Web page: Produces a MIME HTML file (*.mht; *.mhtml). Not all brows-

ers can open these files.

These options are described in the following sections. Both examples use a simple two-sheet work-

book file. Each sheet has a table and a chart. Figure 28.1 shows one of these worksheets.

Keep in mind that these files are intended to be only displayed by a Web browser. They are not

interactive files. In other words, the user cannot make any changes while viewing the file.
