SYMPTOMS
If you create a text file that contains at least two Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags and you open that file in Microsoft Excel, the entire text file may appear in a single merged cell (A1). Also, depending on the quantity and type of HTML tags in the text file, Microsoft Excel may unexpectedly quit. When this behavior occurs, the following error messages appear.
Microsoft Windows 95
Microsoft Windows NT
NOTE: This problem may also occur if the only tag that is in the text document is the <HTML> </HTML> tag.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if the text file contains a large number of HTML tags but no table tags. For example, the file does not contain the following table tags:
<Table>
<TR>
<TD>
These tags force Microsoft Excel to parse the data into separate rows and/or columns.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, do the following:
- Reduce the number of HTML tags in the text document. -or-
- Use table tags so the data is not imported into a single cell. -or-
- Reduce the amount of text in the text document.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
