We're talking apples and oranges to some extent. You want to create *one* set of HTML files. I NEED the spreadsheet - I use it to create *many* sets of HTML files (from *extracted* *subsets* of data). Also dunno how the number of images compare - I have 6000 plus images listed (that would be a longgggggggg text file). . . Speaking of counting. . . I actually use *5* programs in this order:1. Spreadsheet (copy data to clipboard) 2. dbEdit (import data from clipboard) (save the .csv file) 3. TreePad (import .csv file) (save the TreePad file) 4. Keynote (import the TreePad file) (export nodes as individual text files) 5. THE Rename (rename file extensions from .txt to .htm) IMO TextWedge would be most useful for relatively stable information (not too many changes anticipated). The time required to export to Treepad/ Keynote/ text files is trivial in comparison to the time I save by using a spreadsheet for "master records" and making revisions there. OTOH you may prefer to work with text files and/or find them easier to work with. I *am* a realio, trulio spreadsheet junkie and my *easy* probably differs from yours (past experience tells me this is more than likely).

Could still use your spreadsheet too, depending on how you are using it. Does each row represent a file and the last column represent your combined code for that image? (That's how I was doing it with my Word / Excel process) If so, simply copy your last column -- or filter your records for "subsets" as required -- to the master text file and then use TextWedge to replace the whole Treepad / Keynote step. Some thoughts for your consideration. . . M |

(That's how I was doing it with my Word / Excel > process) I use the same basic approach (each image file has a row) - details are different. The HTML description is created on a different page in the spreadsheet - I use formulas to add the HTML tags and stuff like dat dere. The complete description occupies several columns. > If so, simply copy your last column -- or filter your records for "subsets" > as required -- to the master text file and then use TextWedge to replace the > whole Treepad / Keynote step. Hi Michael, Good idea. Especially good because. . .I looked at the "family photo" spreadsheet file last night and realized I *hadn't* used the "spreadsheet to Treepad to Keynote" routine for *those* web pages. That routine works beautifully *IF* "one spreadsheet row = one HTML file" but I wanted to put more than one row of data from the spreadsheet on each web page (many photos rather than one per page). IIRC *now* (no guarantees about that) I just did a lot of grunt work -> extracted/created each "subset" of infomation then divided it up by doing a "copy and paste" of each portion (web page) from the spreadsheet directly into the HTML file. TextWedge should be a tremendous help as a file splitter for those "problem" pages (if as and when I get around to revising them). Another weapon added to the arsenal.
