Excel Web Sharing: Color, Charts, Hot-keys
Try all the features now with the free download!

Sharing Excel workbooks over the web? Color and WYSIWYG support of XLS files are now supported in BadBlue 2.64. Font size, typeface, color and cell background color all come through in BadBlue's 100% browser-based file sharing. Included in the new version: faster file uploads and new help files.

Excel Web Color Support
Color Support Added in Version 2.64

BadBlue also supports keyboard navigation and editing of workbooks. You can use the arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home and End to maneuver through workbooks. In addition, Excel charts are supported (they will appear in the remote user's browser when opening up a 'live view' of the Excel workbook).

Excel Charting Support over the Web
Keyboard nagivation and active cell highlighting

To recap the new features (see http://badblue.com/helpxls.htm the Excel help center for details):

4 WYSIWYG color and formatting supported!

4 Charts are supported! They'll work over the web automatically... and you can control the charts' appearance including size and resolution.

4 Excel keyboard navigation - users can now key through workbooks using the arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, etc. Much easier for those used to working with the keyboard.

4 Hotkey functionality - F, G, and I keys can be used to find/replace, goto and insert, respectively.

4 Current cell highlighting - the current cell is always highlighted, so you can easily see empty cells, which was somewhat difficult before.

4 Single-quote and plus-sign data-entry fixed - if you ever had problems entering single-quotes (e.g., "O'Reilly") or plus-signs before, those issues are addressed in v2.63.

Excel Charting Support over the Web
New installation and uninstaller


4 New, improved Installer/Uninstaller - the installation program has been upgraded and now supports full uninstall from the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs control center.

To recap other recently added features:

4 Charts are supported! Yes, you heard that right, if you have charts in your workbooks, they'll work over the web automatically... and you can control the charts' appearance including size and resolution.

4 Navigation through workbooks is much, much easier: the navigation buttons now appear on the small, popup editor window so you can navigate without the click, button press, click button press... cycle. Much slicker and faster.

4 You can control how linked workbooks operate, meaning whether links are updated, which kinds of links update, etc.

4 The feature added a little while ago where the Manage and Help tabs don't appear for remote users (that is, other than remote administrators) now works consistently in all folder exploration modes.

Check it out by ordering Enterprise Edition now or by downloading free BadBlue Personal Edition.

Other features added recently

4 Want to see which workbooks have changed since your last visit?

With new BadBlue, Excel freshness indicators are available... if you have multiple users updating Excel workbooks with the unique Excel web-sharing features, you can now provide "freshness indicators" to let users see which folders and files have been modified since their last visit. See the Excel Web Sharing page for details!

4 Need to protect sheets in your Excel workbooks for individual users?

With new BadBlue, there's a major enhancement in Excel web sharing access control: now cell-by-cell read- and write-restrictions for users incorporates support for tabbed workbooks. That is, each user can have a different security profile (ability to read or write different cells) for each tabbed workbook in an Excel file. See the Advanced Excel Web Sharing page for details!

4 Automatic timed refresh of Excel shared web workbooks

4 Customize Excel web spreadsheet display

4 Hide folders from users to which they don't have access

4 Monitor real-time download progress

Tired of your site's visitors seeing the Manage and Help tabs?

Now visitors to your server will only see the tabs they need to see. For details, see the User Security Help page. Remote administrators can still see the Manage and Help tabs, but all other visitors won't see those tabs, ever!
