converting .html to regen lost .xls file
Excel 2003-Dell Inspiron XP SP2: In trying to consolidate some .xls files I
somehow deleted an *.xls file that was linked (or shared) with its *_files. I still have the *_files file. How can I use that to regenerate (recreate) the original *.xls document? I made a dummy blank .xls file with the same name (*_.xls), but when I click on an html inside the *_files file or try opening through Excel, it either can't find the dummy (dialog box--this is the most common outcome) or it opens the blank dummy with no changes--it's still blank. I can see the pages (there are 8 sheets) as an .html with all the bells & whistles (pics, formatting, color, spacing all correct), but "save as" .xls ... doesn't. Is there a quicker method than cut-paste, repeat (which brings the raw text & screws the bells & whistles). The *.xls dummy is next to, not in, the *_files. I'm wondering if the date of the .xls (which is later) than the .html group has something to do with it, and that may have broken, or prevents linking the two. Suggestions? |
