Is there any program to convert those xsl (the files excel saves in) to a format that pages can open???

Thanks

Have you tried simple copy-paste or saved the Excel file as text (or tab delimited text) and opened it from within the Pages?

Both methods work; in the former method you will retain the lines etc and in the latter, you will have only the text with or without tabs. Depending on the complexity of the document(s), it may take a while to take care of formatting.

Hi,

You can easily do that by the script.

BTW which language are you using?

If it is PHP then you can find the XLS Reader Class for it.

For more details pls check

Or

There's a free php library at sourceforge that is supposedly able to do this although I have not used it myself.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader/

Please let me know if this helped.

Thanks
Sachin
