Overview of New Features in Microsoft Excel 97

                    | Feature  | Description

  New  | Web Form Wizard  | The wizard guides users through the
 process of connecting a Microsoft Excel form to a Web server so
  that administrators on different operating systems can use the
                          information.

New  | Support for HTML tags/Microsoft Excel 97 HTML tags  | New
  HTML extensions enable PivotTables, AutoFilter, formulas, and
      spreadsheet formatting in HTML tables. When viewed by
 incompatible browsers, these tags revert to normal HTML tables,
  allowing users to view the underlying data. Inside Microsoft
       Excel 97, the tags are interpreted for added active
                         functionality.

  New  | URLs in formulas  | To connect to important data on a
 spreadsheet residing on a Web server, users can include URLs in
formulas. This provides the fastest, easiest way to get the most
    up-to-date data on a worksheet, no matter where the data
                            resides.

  New  | Web Queries  | Users can import rich, dynamic, tabular
    data such as stock quotes, currency exchange, and weather
  information from the Internet into a spreadsheet. The data can
     be imported directly into formulas or charts and can be
                refreshed to keep it up to date.
