unusual use of excel xp and problem when converting to html

"Converting" anything that is complicated to HTML is a very dicey proposition.
First try. Microsoft has "readers" for Excel files that work with browsers. Go to "support.microsoft.com" and look for Excel, then Downloads.
Second. Microsoft has an Excel template for family trees. It might "convert" to HTML better.
Third try. Wait. When "conversion" works, it can take a long time--and if you think the conversion takes a long time, openning the file in a browser can take forever.
Fourth, try intermediate conversions, say to Word and then to HTML.
Fifth, a while back you could get a free trial of Adobe PDF creation sw.
Goodluck.
