Default Remove 'Symbols' When Importing

When I import pages from the internet into Excel, I often have a bunch of
Internet 'symbols' or 'links'.

Examples a little tick symbols from a stockbroker which link to "trade
this stock" type pages, or stock symbols underlined in blue, which take me
to a stock chart.

These are fine on the internet page, but I don't want them in my Excel
table.

I know I can eliminate them by using 'Copy' and 'Paste Special/Values' to a
new page in Excel, but is there a simpler way to 'turn off' these things?
