Text and Hyperlinks in Converting Excel to HTML

Introduction

Now that you have the template for the pages of your HTML spreadsheet and the formatted content from the sample .xls file, all that remains to do is copy the text, images, graphs, and other content from the Excel version of the document into the HTML version of the document. The next few sections of this page will give examples of doing this.

Adding Text

In this example,there is some text on the first and third page of the spreadsheet. Adding this text to the HTML version of our document by creating paragraph (<P>) tags and placing the text into these paragraphs.

Note: It is recommended that you use paragraphs to achieve the same look and feel of your text because they are a standard, accessible way of adding text into the HTML documents.

How to Add Text to HTML:

Create paragraph tags.
Copy the text into the HTML pages.

Note: Place these paragraphs into the "contents" section of your HTML documents.

Adding Hyperlinks

How to Add Hyperlinks to HTML:

Create <A> and </A> tags.
Place the destination and text description of the hyperlink inside of the tags.

For this example, there is only one hyperlink. It appears on the first page of the document.

Note: Remember to place your hyperlinks in the "contents" section of your HTML documents.

Checking your Work

Add the paragraphs and hyperlinks to page1.htm and page3.htm of your HTML spreadsheet. When you have finished, check your work against the example solutions listed below.

Note: The webpage page2.htm has not been changed yet.

The next page of this module discusses how to add tables to your document.
