    Format new Lines into Columns

    Hello.

    I have the task of Copying information from a website into an excel spreadsheet.

    The information is listed like this on the website:

    Company Name
    Address
    City, State Zip
    Contact: Persons Name
    Phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx
    FAX: xxx-xxx-xxxx
    Toll Free: xxx-xxx-xxxx
    Description: Short description of what they do

    [email protected]
    www.websitehere.com
    ---------------------------------------------------
    My Spreadsheet has each Category in a column...like this:

    Name | Address | Contact | Phone | FAX | Toll Free | Description | Email | Website |
    Name | Address | Contact | Phone | FAX | Toll Free | Description | Email | Website |
    Name | Address | Contact | Phone | FAX | Toll Free | Description | Email | Website |

    How can i make it so that I only need to copy and paste 1 time and get the information into the right columns??? Can I do this??

    No, but you can import the data into excel via data>import external data>new
    web query or you can paste into a text edit and save as a text file, then
    open the text file with excel and the text import wzard will let you
    configure your imported data
