Saving Excel documents as Web Page

Saving PowerPoint documents as Web Page

Things you must know before saving as Web Page:

  1. If the document you are saving as Web Page contains pictures you will obtain both an HTML document AND a folder accompanied with it. This folder contains the picture embedded in the original document.

  2. You need to move both the HTML output and the folder to your web location for the page to function properly

 

 Saving a Word Document as a Web Page

Professors might want to upload a Word document to their LMS account so that students can read the text directly as html. In this case, the professor can choose to save the original document as a web page by doing the following:
  1. Open the word document in MS word application
  2. Go to File>Save as Web Page. The Save As window will open. You must choose the location where to save the file in. You can also rename your new web page document.


     
  3. You also have the option to Change Title of your document. This title will appear at the top of the web browser when a person views your web page. Click OK when done.
  4. You also have the option to Change Title of your document. This title will appear at the top of the web browser when a person views your web page. Click OK when done.

     
     
  5. Click on Save.

Notice the HTML file that has been created in the specified location after you are done.

If your Word document contains pictures follow the same procedure as above to save the file as a web page but notice that after you save the file as a web page you will obtain both an HTML document (as above) AND a folder accompanied with it. This folder contains the elements of the saved file.

The same procedure is to be followed to save an Arabic Word document as a web page. The only difference is that you need to specify an Arabic name/title for your file.

FAQ:

What is the difference between the file name and the title of a Web Page?

The file name is the name you use to store the Web Page on your computer (e.g. My Documents, Desktop…). The title is the text that will appear at the top of the Web Browser window when a person views your Web Page.

How do I make my Web Page available for other peoples to view?

After you save a file as a Web Page, you can transfer the page to a computer that stores Web Pages, called a Web Server. Once the Web Page is stored on a Web Server, the page will be available for other people to view. For information on transferring a Web Page to a Web Server, contact your network administrator or Internet service provider.

You can save a workbook as a Web page. This allows you to place the workbook on the Internet.

  1. Open the workbook you want to save as a Web page.
  2. From the Menu bar, click on File and select Save as Web Page. The Save as dialog box appears


     
  3. The Add Interactivity checkbox allows you to publish you worksheet and workbook as interactive or non-interactive. Click here for more information about interactivity
  4. In the File name field type the file name for the Web page.
  5. Click on the drop down arrow beside the field Save in to select the location where Excel will store the Web page in your computer.

Moreover, a SINGLE Excel sheet that includes pictures would be saved in the same manner. On the other hand, when you choose to save a single sheet that contains no pictures, ONLY an HTML file is created in the specified location.

 Interactive in Excel Files
 

1. Non-Interactive
If you want users to view the data you publish but not work with it in the browser, you can publish it as non-interactive data. You can open, edit and save non-interactive Web pages in Microsoft Excel, but you cannot make any changes to the data in the browser.

  • Be sure the Add interactivity with check box under Viewing options is cleared.
  • For a filtered list, Web page viewers can see only the data that was not filtered when you published the list. However, all data in the list is published to the Web page. Filtered (hidden) data can be viewed by viewing the HTML source code for the page.
  • You cannot publish an entire workbook without interactivity in the Publish dialog box. Instead, click Save As Web Page on the File menu, and instead of clicking Publish, select Entire Workbook in the Save as Web Page dialog box and make sure the Add interactivity box is cleared
  • 2. Interactive
    To enable people to work with the data on your Web page in a browser, you can make your data interactive. For example, you can publish an interactive spreadsheet that calculates loan information. A user who browses to the page can enter financial information such as loan amount and interest rate to calculate a monthly payment.

  • Select the Add interactivity with check box and select the type of interactivity you want from the list. The type of interactivity that's available depends on what you are publishing. For example:
  • For a worksheet that contains formulas, select Spreadsheet functionality so that users of your Web page can enter new values in a cell and the formulas will automatically calculate the results.
  • For a PivotTable report, select PivotTable functionality so that users of your Web page can change the layout of rows and columns to see different summaries of the source data.
  • For an external data range, select PivotTable functionality so that Web page viewers can update the data from its source.
  • For a filtered list, select Spreadsheet functionality.
  • For a chart or PivotChart report, select Chart functionality. If you try to publish all contents of a worksheet that contains a chart with interactive functionality, the chart is not included on the Web page. To put an interactive chart on a Web page, you must publish the chart separately.
