Simon Bull Posted 1 January , 2018 Share Posted 1 January , 2018 (edited) My wife had a distant relative (Florence Rusk) who worked as a nurse at an unknown hospital during the Great War. She kept an autograph book. My wife has recorded on an xls file those who signed and what they recorded about themselves. The forum software will not let me upload an xls file. Any ideas about how I might let members see the contents of the xls file without huge effort? Edited 1 January , 2018 by Simon Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanA Posted 1 January , 2018 Share Posted 1 January , 2018 I'm no expert, but is there an option to save the file as a JPEG? Good luck. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is to prevent the upload of malicious macros and the like. So, save the Excel file as a .csv, and that will upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Bull Posted 1 January , 2018 Author Share Posted 1 January , 2018 OK - I have tried converting to CSV but it is telling me features will be lost. If anyone wants information of a type which is obvously lost (some items are repalced by abstrct hierogliphics) I will get them from the xls file.

Phil Thanks very much for this Phil. I will show these to my wife who will be very interested. She had never followed up where these hospitals were and we had acted on the assumption that they were in Scotland (where this side of her family came from and lived until the end of their lives).
