if you've accidentally saved a huge spreadsheet as a web doc...
mom is an accountant and works with lots of spread sheets - one of the
project managers, who is not very computer savvy at all, accidentally saved a huge (and important) spreadsheet as a web document. Windows broke it up into a whole web, making each page of the spread sheet its own file and the bar into the navigation. So now there are some 60 files instead of one and of course, the formulas and things are probably gone. Since i'm pretty good at computers (though i haven't used excel is ages), i was asked to see if i could help. I assumed that if excel can create these web files, it should be able to open them, but when i tried, it kept trying to find the "big" file and would not open any of the individual web pages. Any ideas? can it be reconverted? are the formulas even still there? Thank you very much for any help you can provide, |

Gwenifar,
Saving as a webpage doesn't delete (overwrite) the original excel document. Is that still available?

There should be a file named *.htm in the folder that holds the *_files folder.
You should be able to open that *.htm file directly (let excel worry about all the little files.) gwenwifar wrote: mom is an accountant and works with lots of spread sheets - one of the project managers, who is not very computer savvy at all, accidentally saved a huge (and important) spreadsheet as a web document.
