    copy/pasting from webpage - hyperlinks are lost

    Hi!

    I need to put into excel some data from website.
    Usually i use simple copy-pasting data along with the links - i need to keep hyperlinks in my sheet. But for some reason i cannot make it in this case.

    Here is a link: http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.h...e_idd=MTk0NTU=

    The data i need to copy is right after Stages header:

    Stage: 1 - 13 January : Franceville - Lékoni, 102.00 km
    Stage: 2 - 14 January : Mounana - Bongoville, 120.20 km
    Stage: 3 - 15 January : Akiéni - Franceville, 98.80 km
    Stage: 4 - 16 January : Oyem - Bitam, 96.00 km
    Stage: 5 - 17 January : Bibas - Oyem, 109.90 km
    Stage: 6 - 18 January : Libreville, 137.40 km

    when i pasting it into excel the links are gone.
    I guess it happens because each line contains of 2 identical links separated by "-" symbol which doesnt contain a link.

    Any help/advice appreciated.

    cheers

    i see you fixed the title,did you pm royUK?

    are you using internet explorer~? i noticed that if i copy from chrome or firefox the hyperlink does not copy but does from IE,probably the way the office clipboard works

    Yes i PMed royUK, will do it again just in case.

    I have tried chrome (my default browser), firefox, IE - same thing.
    Strange that if i paste it to MS word - links are ok. But i have to copy-paste decent amount of links so i need to find a way to paste directly to excel.

    Thanks anyway. Will try safari - may be it helps.

    Update - tried safari - nothing changed. Probably webpage has some weird formatting
