Question

What's XLSHTML?

Answer 1

A:

I dont have an example but id bet you there is a corresponding XSD or DTD for it. Perhaps trying makign a dummy Excel doc and save it as that. If it uses a DTD/XSD it should be inline or have a reference to it somewhere.

What version of Excel do I need? (See: "My version of Excel can't save it")

Answer 2

A:

I can create the following file:

<html>
<body>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>1</td>
        <td>2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>3</td>
        <td>4</td>
    </tr>
</table>        
</body>
</html>

...and then save it with an .xls extension, I can then double-click it and it opens in Excel. I don't get a warning in that case.

Granted, it's unstyled, so you'd have to reverse-engineer MS's proprietary CSS it likes to use when exporting an XLS file as HTML.

It gives a warning here. Either you're using a different version of Excel, or you have some setting that turns off the warnings -- neither of which I can assume about my users.
