Need some help here. I'm a UPS Package car driver, and some how managed to make a simple wage table. I think it would be useful to other drivers. I'm really not that good with computers, but I have been trying to upload it into Tnet. I get server error, or will not allow that type of file. I have tried copy/paste to word perfect , and note pad. With notepad I did get to upload into Tnet , but when I previewed before posting, it was a mess.

The table is wide, but will print on an 8x11 copy paper in landscape format.
any tips ?

I can't say I'm intimately familiar with our restrictions on file types for uploads, but generally speaking most programs capable of running macros are forbidden to prevent the transmission of viruses and other unsafe code. I'd assume that's what's at work here judging by the fact that only a .txt file (Notepad) would upload; macros cannot run from .txt files.

I believe that PDF files are permissible. There are a few free PDF converters out there, one of which is freely-available at http://www.dopdf.com/

Give that one a shot. Open up your spreadsheet program, go to print, find the doPDF virtual printer in the list, then select it and hit print. It will allow you to save the PDF file to a location on your computer. After that's done upload the PDF to TNET. Should work. If not lemme know.

Email the file to me and I will see that it gets up.

Not sure which spreadsheet program you're using, but Excel has a "save" file option which allows you to save a spreadsheet as tab delimited {sp?] TXT (*.txt) file which should (1) show up without being a mess in Notepad and/or (2) as a straight "text" file, be uploadable directly to T-Net. In fact, once you've done the file conversion, and uploaded it into a simple text editor (say NotePad) I'm pretty sure that at that point in time, you COULD cut 'n' paste it accurately....probably directly into a T-Net post, if you want.

This is different from "cutting 'n' pasting" directly into a word processing program in that the cell structure is preserved via the "tabs"....which they wouldn't be if copied from the spreadsheet directly into a simple text editor.

Not sure if all spreadsheet programs are the same (I really don't use them that much) but, as I recall, both Ami Pro and the spreadsheet program included with WordPerfect's package had the same option.

Thanks everyone, I just sent the file to Phil and hope he can make it work. I will take all your tips and work on them so maybe I can help myself, and maybe someone else down the road if I can master it.
Thanks again,
Rick
