Assumptions Know how to create powerpoint, excel, and word documents Know how to publish materials to the web
Benefits of using office to create html Easy conversion of pre-existing materials powerpoint graphics excel analysis and formatting of data
Drawbacks to this method Powerpoint treats text as graphics Word is a clunky web editor For simple tables, most web editors will do what excel will do for formatting
Goals for this class Convert a pre-existing powerpoint presentation to a web page Convert a pre-existing word document to a web page Convert a pre-existing excel document to a stand-alone web page Insert an excel table into a pre-existing web page
Powerpoint

Excel
Excel as standalone web page Takes any number of ranges within an existing spreadsheet and creates a single web page.
Excel embedded into existing page Need to insert comment into page at point where you want the data <!--##Table##--> creates new document (similar to mail merge)
