How can I insert and display an Excel or Google Doc File on our page?

What's the code command to do that? That will enable us to display the current token (dkp) standings of guild members during raids.

Thank you.

Sorry thats not something I'm familiar with how to do personally although it sounds like it'd be a great resource for your guild site. I did a little searching around for some answers but it went over my head in a hurry... perhaps something here can help you:

Or maybe one of our coding gurus will be able to help more.

If you do get something like what you describe working please share!

1. go to Google Docs, click the document you want to insert
2. click PUBLISH ( at the upper left hand corner)
3. click MORE PUBLISHING OPTIONS ( a window will appear)
4. under FILE FORMAT, select HTML TO EMBED IN WEBPAGE (upper portion of window)

addenda:

you can size fit the spreadsheet by playing around with the width and height values of the code. the default width provided by the code for width is 500 and the default height provided by the code is 300. To increase the width for example just change 500 to 600 (or to whatever value that suits your needs). The same applies with changing the height. hope this helps.
