XL2000: Publishing Cells with Spilled Text Creates Merged Cells

ID: Q221492

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you publish a Web page in Microsoft Excel and then reopen the page, cells which contained spilled text (more text than could fit in one cell) become merged cells.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you publish a selected range of cells as HTML, instead of saving the entire workbook as HTML.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, click Entire Workbook in the Save As dialog box, instead of clicking Selection or Publish. Unlike the Publish feature, the Save Entire Workbook feature is designed to "roundtrip" all data, formulas, and cell formatting.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
