Re: Serving MS excel files with apache

[Brian Wright <bdw aturna com>]

You'll need to set a MIME type in your browser.  For netscape, it would
be the following:

application/vnd.ms-excel

Add the following extensions:  XLS XLT XLM XLD XLA XLC XLW XLL

Set handled by to EXCEL.

Also, you can save your Excel spreadsheets as HTML and put them on a
site.

Best,
Brian
