I have only used it a little bit, but it basically allows you to convert an excel table (or section thereof) into an HTML table without any direct HTML coding. There is support for color and other formatting options, and you can have the asistant place the table data in the middle of another HTML document that you are using as a template. It seems to me that with the 32-bit ODBC drivers that come with Office95 (or is it Win95?) and some work in OPAL, VB, or perhaps even an Excel macro, you should be able to automate the creation of the HTML document without having to purchase a product that has a single use.
