MS Excel to Wordpress posts

Hey, everyone,

I am working on transitioning my newspaper's website to the wordpress platform. The CMS I'm using now costs too damn much per month ($325) and is too limited. Each morning I get arrest reports from some of the local PDs, and I'm trying to get them into posts. These are always sent in Excel format. I have not been able to get this to work in my current CMS and am trying to get it to work in WP. Converting to txt doesn't work without a lot of extra work put in getting the columns to work correctly. It can take an hour for each report, and I get reports from 5 different PDs.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a plugin, perhaps, that works for this sort of thing. I've been filtering through WP plugins but haven't found anything yet.

Thank you so much,

SG

You'll probably have to format the spreadsheets first, but it should take a lot quicker than an hour once you get the hang of it, I think.

Disregard. I think I found one that will work. It's ugly but it gets the data in. In case someone else is looking for this, the plugin I found is called WP Excel CMS.

Sorry to bother everyone.
