I have come across the same problem. I tend to copy from a web page to
microsoft Frontpage and then from Frontpage into Word or Excel. Give it a try
it worked for me.

When I copy a table from a website and paste special into Excel, I lose
some of the formatting, as the table includes gif images. Is there
another way of importing the images, so that I can convert them as
something else using Find/Replace?

Pasting the table as html pastes everything onto one line.

Here is an example of the table I want to import.
