I’m a relatively new Freeway user (still using 30 day trail).
I am re-creating a web site I previously created using Serif plus on a PC. Serif web plus allowed me to place a frame on a page and load an excel file into it. The excel spread sheet had 10 rows and 50 columns. The frame allowed the site visitor to scroll across the data within the frame without having to have a ridiculously wide web page.
Does anyone know of a way of recreating something similar using freeway pro 5.
Was your Excel file exported as an HTML page - if so then you can place an iFrame on your FW page and reference the Excel page within it - you will have to upload the Excel HTML page to your server.
I’ll have to use my old PC to update the excel file each time and send it across to my Mac.
Google Docs spreadsheet will read Excel files, and can be ‘published’ to the Web, ie, you can incorporate it into your Freeway site; any subsequent edits online will then automatically show up in your Freeway page online.
I have linked the iFrame to a PDF file containing my data.
When I preview the web site, the PDF shows in the iFrame. However, it is tiny and you have to zoom in to get it to a size worth reading. Is there any way to set the size upon loading ?
If you have the full authoring version of Acrobat, you can set the
default zoom for a PDF file when you save it. Otherwise, that
preference is kept on the visitor’s browser, depending on how they set
up the plug-in (or didn’t, more likely).

I have just had a go of the google docs. That would have been an ideal solution as I could have allowed the client to share the file and update as necessary.
However, the google spreadsheet is poor.
I saved my numbers file as excel file. Uploaded it to google docs. When I viewed the document the data was wrong.
My spreadsheet contains dates and corresponding prices for this year.
When I open the document in google the year changes to 2006 !!??
