is there an easy, free way to convert an excel spreadsheet into an HTML table that is not 20mb?

I have a schedule saved in an excel spreadsheet, I need the exact schedule in a html table. I tried to "save as" in Excel but the file was over 20mb, i have searched the web and can only find VBA and "buy my product" stuff. Any ideas?

    Your computer is telling you the file size is too big!

    Option 1.

    Select only the range of cells you want you users to see. Copy

    Create a new workbook, paste. Paste as value and then paste as format only.

    Save as html file. This can be tricky as different browsers handle excel generated html files differently... hunt for macros to generate html file ..yadda yadda

    Option 2.

    Select only the range of cells you wan users to see. Download Print to PDF utility (there are freeware in the net), print to PDF, upload to the web.

    Option 3.

    Select only the range of cells you want users to see. Go to edit, copy as picture, bitmap. Download irfanview, edit the image (eg resize, sharpen etc).

    Upload image as jpg file.

    PS. I usually use option 2 & 3. Option 1 is too much trouble.
