    1. Select the range of table cells.
    2. Open the "Save As" dialogue and choose HTM(L).
    3. In the extended dialogue, choose "publish selected cells only" and "launch browser."
    4. View the source of the new Web page.
    5. Copy everything between the following comments (or just look for your table):
      <!--START OF OUTPUT FROM EXCEL PUBLISH AS WEB PAGE WIZARD --> ... <!--END OF OUTPUT FROM EXCEL PUBLISH AS WEB PAGE WIZARD-->
      Code (markup):
    6. Paste the code into your WordPress entry. (If it doesn't look right, undo or delete, switch to HTML view and try again.)

    I'm using an older version of Excel, but the steps shouldn't have changed much. If you're a stickler for XHTML, you'll have to edit the code before you copy it.
