RoboHelp hangs after import of large HTML file

I have a large spreadsheet (18Mbs, +21,000 rows of data) where I have added interctivity and saved as an HTML file.  I want to import this into Robohelp to provide users with a topic showing the spreadsheet where they can use the AutoFilter functionality to find the data they need.  But, when I import the file RoboHelp seems to hang after I have selected the HTML file.  It said Importing....on the status bar and then Ready...but the program hangs every time.  Any ideas?

    Colum, I think we missed out on a second option you were going to suggest.  Maybe it was to find a way to logically break up the spreadsheet into multiple sheets so you can import them as multiple smaller HTML files, which is what I would suggest.

    Wow! That sounds like one huge file. If you really want to show how to do this (over and above the MS Excel help ) could you either cut down on the amount of data in the spreadsheet.
