After a busy week of launching our new website and showcasing iPhone edition beta at the Office 2.0 Conference, here comes our September release. In this release, we introduce the enhanced HTML Export.

New posting options : Sorting and Filtering

When you are publishing a large spreadsheet with numerous rows of data to the web, it would be helpful to sort and filter the information to locate what you are looking for. For example, if you have a list containing contacts of all offices, you can now enable the filtering function (Publish > Post to Blog / Webpage > Posting option > Enable filtering) to further trim down the contact list by location (New York) and departments:
