Thanks for your previous help - the pages to printing correctly.
I one last problem that occurred at the last moment.

My clients use exel to keep their wine stock list and they need to update
their website from this list. I have written their website so that they will
be able to do this.
I have been filtering the required information from their winelist and
pasting it onto the webpage ( a no no but that is how they wish to do it)
Everything works fine on my computer (and others in this office - I copy from
the exel workbook and paste into the page and it goes in as a table - I only
need to adjust the cell width a bit and it looks great. But it doesn't work
on my clients computer - it pastes in as a list and not a table. They are
using Frontpage 2003 same as me and the same Excel.

Any ideas - is there something I am missing. The website is
www.wyliefinewines.co.uk
 
Where is the Excel page?
If you are using OWC all users also need the OWC installed
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555237
Instead of pasting consider using Excel as a DB if on a server that supports ASP

The wine lists is excel - pasted from an excel workbook onto the appropiate
page - such as http://www.wyliefinewines.co.uk/wines/rbdx1919.htm.
What is owc? I doubt if all users would have this installed. Whatever
method I use it has to be very simple - my clients are not very computer
literate. They have have been happy cutting and pasting Excel into a previous
website I wrote some 3 years ago. The problem has arisen since upgrading to
FP 2003 for a new website I have written. Although as I said this method
works fine on the computers in our office but not on my clients - same excel,
same fp2003. It has me baffled -are there any settings in FP2003 that I
could have overlooked?
 
OWC - Office web components
- but you aren't using them

There is nothing in the page that would prevent users of IE from seeing your pasted list
- other browser users might have problem w/ the Excel (MS O) formatting

Try saving as html in Excel and File importing the pages into FP
