And if you do it this way you need to do a Paste Special and then specify
Text. Otherwise the data is all in one cell...

Just to do it quick and dirty I've done the following..
I've had some luck doing this via the simple highlight what you want to
copy, then Copy and then Paste directly into Excel.

I've also had to depending on how it was formatted highlight, then copy and
past into Word then convert the text into a table... 

Like I said.. Quick and dirty.. But it works most of the time..

My internet phone bill comes with a neatly laid out list of phone calls.
AFAICT it is not a table however.  I am wondering if there is a way to
"extract" that data into a spreadsheet or table (other than building a
programmed parser).
