How Do I post a "chart" here?

Being bored one nite - I have created a chart comparing the roaming rates in EVERY country for CelTrek, Travelsim, and United Mobile. I also list rates for Cingular and U.S. T-Mobile.

It is in Excel, but I can convert it to PDF. Which format is best to post and how would I do that?

Chart is like this:

Country CT Out TSOut UM Out CT In TS In UM In Cingular T-M

If printed it would take about 4 pages.

Before posting I would take the time to add a Manx carrier IF someone can point me to a site where all the rates can be accessed at once rather than looking up one country at a time.

Fairly easy to post an attachment. When you hit "reply" two boxes come up near the top of the screen: At the top "Reply to Thread". Directly below this "Additional Options" Enter your message in the top box, then click on "manage attachments" in the bottom box. You can attach files up to 19.5Kb for most files types, but .zip folders or .jpg can be 97.7Kb. Excel might be better if others want to add columns with other prepaid or postpaid international or regional carriers. If too big to attach just attach it in a zip folder.

Hate to admit it - forgot how to zip a file. It's been years. I'll attach it in PDF form. If someone wants the Excel file, I'll email it.

I had trouble in a couple areas. Different companies refer to remanents of the former Yugoslavia differently. Same with countries in the Carribean that are known by different names in diff. places.

I would still like a referral to a Manx operator who has rates posted in an easy to read/copy format.

What increments does TravelSIM use for billing?

Edit

WHOOPS. Just discovered the PDF is 23K! Original Excel file is about 65K.
No formulas. Am surprised at the size.

I have decided not to bother zipping. I don't like users who post files and make me "unzip". That was fine 15-20 years ago when space and storage was expensive.
I'll post it on a web site and post a link here.

Thanks, Ken, for posting directions for "zipping".

OK, how to zip a file. Click on one of your drives in My Computer. In the window that opens, right click, in the menu you see there is a "new" option click on it and in the submenu click on "zipped (compressed) folder". A new zipped folder will appear in that drive. Rename it to anything you want.zip. Then make a copy of your excel or pdf file and drop it in the zip folder. Magic, your file suddenly becomes a fraction of it's original size!

To zip the file, right click on it, click "send to", choose "compressed zip folder" That's it! The zip file will be created.

See the "sticky" at the top of the page. It is obviously somewhat out of date. I'll update it on some boring evening.
