subject: [Paddlewise] sea kayak survey
Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 18:26:33 -0700
I've gotten to the end of the sea kayaking portion of the boat survey we
started (how many months ago?).  Actually, it's been done for a few
weeks now.  I just haven't figured out a way to get it onto Jackie's web
page.  Any help would be appreciated.  I compiled the survey in Excel.
I exported the Excel document as an ascii document.  It wound up looking
a little ragged.  Columns sort of bleed into each other.  The printed
Excel document looks pretty good especially if you set up your printer
for "landscape" instead of "portrait" orientation, but not everybody has
the Excel software.  Also, there is some missing information.  One of
the columns is the type of construction for each kayak.  Some of the
respondees did not list the construction type so I used a question mark
as a place holder.  I think this info would serve everyone the best if
it were set up as a web page.  As such people could add to it as they
acquire new toys.  I think it has potential.  We just need to figure out
how to get it out there.  If anyone is interested in the survey results
thus far please respond via private email and mention if you want the
ascii text or the Excel file.

Just so happens I'm taking a class tomorrow in web site construction.
Maybe I'll learn something relevant there!

There is an Excel 5.0 (for mac) ad-in called "XTML v1.3.0" shareware,
available at the macworld download site. It converts an excel sheet (or
portion thereof) to an HTML table. It works very nicely.

If you arent running a mac, or have other troubles, email the sheet to me
and I'll do the convert for you.

If you have access to a machine running Win95 or NT, with MS Office 97,
open the file in Excel and then File/Save as HTML.  THe HTML wizard walks
you through the process of converting it to an HTML table.
