Jim, whenever I save something from the net with numeratics on it, I hit file save as, and give it a name. Then I open it in Excel. If it comes up where everything is left aligned into column A, I save it in Excel as a .prn file. Close it, then open the .prn version. Import wizard will come up. Then you can play around with it and either use DELIMITED and go to the next screen and check off commas or spaces, or go back and choose FIXED WIDTH, and click in the line breaks. You have to be careful where you put the line breaks. With the frame stuff, you can click on the part of the frame you want to save, then edit - select all - copy - then plaster to Excel. Then save that as a .prn file. If you save as text, the import wizard doesn't always pop up. With some html files, once you have saved it it you can open it in Excel, copy the area you want, and then plaster it into a new file, and it will all fall into columns. Vitas
