Does Excel 97 have the capability to read XML/HTML?

I’m setting up a reporting function for something at work and I would like it output an Excel compatible file. I know that Excel 2003 has the ability to open a HTML file and display it as a spreadsheet but I’m unsure about Excel 97, which the end users are unfortunately stuck using.
Note: I do not have the option of ‘telling them to upgrade’, I know it’s 8 years old but they have to use it for compatibility with spreadsheets from offices in other countries.

    Don’t you think it is time to upgrade?
    tell them to upgrade to a version that is younger than 8 years.

    No, Excel 97 can not read xml (May be can HTML), this feature was added on Excel2000 in a hidden place and in ExcelXP.

    good luck

Another thing I’ve always assumed is that computers have become a product that each family must have for several reasons. They supply you with convenient ways in which to organize the home, pay bills, search for information, study, hear music as well as watch television shows. An innovative approach to complete every one of these tasks is with a mobile computer. These computers are portable ones, small, powerful and mobile.

  30. My father used to say something like this (not in English though) “what you do to me and you mom, your children will do to you”. This was what his father had said to him… You are not the 1st generation who hates their parents’ generation, not are you the last one. Apparently blaming someone else for your own circumstacnes makes one feel better about oneself. I can understand this need. Just take it easier a bit, and remeber you will have children too.o|
