Text box content blurred when saved as html

**kronos1** · 01-16-2010, 11:18 PM

Hello,

I'm using Excel 2010 b.2. When I save my workbook as html the content of the Text boxes are blurred slightly.

What can I do to prevent this please?

With thanks,

Max

Max, can you strip down your workbook and post a small example, please? I'm testing 2010 ß and would like to have a look ....

Hi again teylyn,

Here's a bit of one sheet.

With thanks,

Max, I don't think there's much you can do. The text boxes are converted to images. Depending on the resolution of your screen, these images will appear slightly blurry, since they now are no longer text, where characters are represented by fonts of different sizes, but rather a snapshot of pixels that may appear to run into each other.
You can try and hold down the Ctrl button while scrolling your mouse wheel in the browser window to zoom into the page and notice how the blur factor changes as the images are presented with differing resolutions, but essentially the blur is a result of the image being resized to the resolution Excel deems fit.

When saving as a web page choosing the option to save as "Web Page" gives you the pictures as *.png files in a sub folder, which you could then manipulate to save to a resolution of your size. Choosing the option "Single File Web Page" is less flexible, and, for example, will not open the page correctly in Firefox.

Maybe not the answer you're hoping for, but I'm still learning myself.

cheers

Thanks teylyn,

I've been reading the forum rules and realise that I owe another apology. Sorry, I should have advised you that I'd posted the same query elsewhere late last November, and a reason as to why it happens was explained. The workaround provided was go back to Excel 2003! Even tho' doing that was ok, I still reckon on finding a better solution for 2007 & 2010.

I had one go at altering a *.png in Photoshop and saving it 'for the web' but it made it worse.
