I've tried pasting it into an Excel file, and it still doesn't make any

It appears that I can't get a soil acidifying chart through without
the
list-serv screwing it up but, at least, my last attempt at doing so
yielded
a messed-up chart that can be figured out. Henceforth, let's do it this
way: If you need the information, contact me off line. Okay?

I found an asp file online with acidifying soil information. I sent
it
to myself twice and it held together so let's see what the NAFEX list-serv
will do to it:
