I'd like to post an excel chart for my annual closers thread in the baseball forum. How do I go about doing that and keeping the formatting looking nice? |

Posted by Farn and Mike D in the General Fantasy Sports Forum back in in 2006:How To Post A Spreadsheet from Excel
Here's how I do it. Could be other ways but I'm slow and stick to this one.
1. Put all your data or whatever into the spreadsheet. 2. Hit Save. 3. Drag your mouse to highlight the section you want to post. Highlight it completely. 4. Click on File. Choose "Save As Webpage". 5. Hit the "Selection:Sheet" button" 6. Save it with any name you want. 7. Open your web browser (Firefox, Explorer) 8. Click File in your web browser. 9. Choose "Open File" 10. Find the file you saved and open it. 11. Right click on that newly opened file in your web browser and choose "view source". 12. At the top of the Windows Notepad that opens click "Edit" and choose "Select All". 13. Hit "Control-Copy" on your keyboard. 14. Close Notepad 15. Go to Rotoguru and find the thread you want to put it in; either a new thread or an existing one. 16. Hit "Control-Paste" on your keyboard in the thread box you post in. 17. Click the "yes" button below the thread box that says "(for HTML table input)". 17. Post it.
The default setting for Excel is to "center" the results. I always scroll down in notepad during step 12 and change that to "align=left" instead of the default "align=center." Then I proceed with step 12, and "save" when exiting to save the change. This helps when posting in rotoguru (see GO's recent posting of the scores----it was reeeall wide).

Thanks Mith. I thought there was a post about this years ago (didn't realize it was nearly a decade ago!). Just didn't know what to search for.
