Hi Graham,

Here's a possible solution. Write a macro and save it in a 'Personal
Macro Workbook'. I used this example for my code in the personal macro
workbook:

--------------
Sub saveforweb()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= _
"Macintosh HD:Users:jay:Desktop:" & ActiveWorkbook.Name &
".htm", FileFormat:=xlHtml
End Sub
--------------

Then in AppleScript, run something like this:

--------------
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
Activate
Evaluate "'Personal Macro Workbook'!saveforweb()"
end tell
--------------

This should run the macro for you and save your frontmost Excel file as
a web page. It's definitely not perfect, but might do what you need.

Hope it helps.

Jay
