    Hello everyone,

    I have a question. I have designed some tools on excel spreadsheets and i was wondering if there exists a tool to publish the spreadsheet online with the input cells as text boxes. I want to retain the formatting of the spreadsheet.

    I searched for it on google and found a software named "Excel Everywhere" but, a.) it costs $100 (which gets too expensive for me) and b.) there is a limit on the number of functions it supports.

    Is there a cheaper way of doing it?

    Thanks to everyone in advance.

    Couldn't you just use a service like Google Docs? If you want a custom one written it would be many times more than $100.

    Hey Danltn and Jestep, Thanks for replying...

    Google docs doesnt support some of the very basic functions PLUS i cannot publish those spreadsheets for commercial purposes...

    and i am going through the links mentioned, i'll definitely get back when i need more help.

    Thanks again.
