I have a list, made with Excel 2003, of about 600 items.

If I create a pdf, I get a small 35 kb file. However, I'd rather create
a html file. The point is, when I make excel save the file as html, the
output is a heavy 350 kb file! Plus, it also creates a directory with
some stuff that html file apparetnly needs.

Instead, I would like to create a small html stand-alone file, wich
requires no additional directories nor files. Is there an easy way to do
it?

How can the html file be more than 10 times bigger than the pdf?
 
Hi Zio,
My guess is that you would probably be creating about 35kb in HTML
coloring cells differently within rows can be costly. Assuming this is
strictly for presentational purposes and not for round tripping.
Also that you are familiar with HTML coding.

Take a look at

you can modify the code any which way you want, but you'd probably only
modify what you the HTML code before the table, and to skip the interactive
part about where you want the output.
