Viewing the single file Web page.
Opening an HTML File
Excel can open most HTML files, which can be stored on your local drive or on a Web server. Choose
Office ➪ Open and locate the HTML file. If the file is on a server, you’ll need to copy the URL and paste it
into the File Name field in the Open dialog box.
How the HTML code renders in Excel varies considerably. Sometimes, the HTML file may look exactly as
it does in a browser. Other times, it may bear little resemblance (especially if the HTML file uses CSS for
layout).
Working with Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are shortcuts that provide a quick way to jump to other workbooks and files. You can set up
hyperlinks to jump to files on your own computer, your network, and the Web. For example, you can
create a series of hyperlinks to serve as a table of contents for a workbook.
