Just a possible suggestion.. the extensions needed for Excel 97 HTML 
conversion, for some reason, aren't installed by default with the 
install. If you have the CD-ROM, you might try doing a custom re-
install (backup needed docs or files first!), and see if you can add 
that add-on tool from the disk.

The downloadable one, I believe, from the MS site, is for Excel's 
earlier versions, and won't work with 97.

Good luck with that problem.
