Exporting to Frontpage 2002

Hi,

I have Office XP with Frontpage. We have a website that contains a list of available products ( currently, this is simply text entered in a tabular manner... ). In the store however, the staff uses this same information, in a binder ( every week, they print the list from Word....) Obviously, this is extremely cumbersome.....

I created an Excel file with all the necessary infos, and split the product categories as seperate sheets. On the web site, i do not wish to display all the columns. Each sheet has it's equivalent html page on the site. Can i simply export the data, and format it in frontpage, or is there something more efficient?

Also, since the web page has a lot of formating done ( background color, text color, sizing ..) i'm guessing that i would need to re-create all of it eveytime i want to sync the data. Is there a way for excel to use the formating of the webpage directly?

Any ideas are welcome!

thanks!

I'm not to sure about the FrontPage stuff, but have you tried Save As-->Web Page, Selectionheet & check Add Interactivity?

Yup, that will work for one part of what i want. In the store, i want the staff to remove the products they sell, and correct mistakes as they go, but since i need to publish this on my website, i dont want the web users to be able to do edits, and there are some columns that i do not wish to display

The frustrating thing is that it would be simple if Excel's colors could match those of FP.... Any way to enter the Hex code for a color in Excel?

Thanks!

I think you're stuck with the 56 colors from the palette.

But see if Dave McRitchie's article helps any: http://www.geocities.com/davemcritchie/excel/colors.htm.
