Importing Excel worksheets

Namo WebEditor can import an Excel worksheet (one “sheet” in an Excel spreadsheet file) into a Web document, converting it to an ordinary HTML table. The formatting of the worksheet is preserved as closely as possible, within the limitations of HTML.

You can choose from three methods of importing a worksheet:

  • The table can be dynamically linked to the original Excel file. If you edit the worksheet later, you can have Namo WebEditor update the table with the changes to the worksheet.
  • A copy of the worksheet can be embedded into the Web document. If you make changes to the embedded worksheet, Namo WebEditor automatically updates the table.
  • The worksheet can be imported as a static table with no further relationship to the worksheet.

Which method you choose depends on your requirements for the table that results from importing the worksheet. If you want to be able to update the table to reflect any changes to the original worksheet, choose linking. If you don’t need to maintain a link to the original worksheet, but you do want to be able to edit the table in Excel, choose embedding. If you just need a static copy of the worksheet in your Web document, choose static importing.
