Default Pastying From web issues: 1 column

Regardless if it has worked before it is much better if you do dataimport
external datanew web query.
That way you can control everything it will always import like a table etc.

Hello. I'm a not a total newbie, but did encounter a problem today.

When attempting to copy a table from a webpage into Excel (which I have
previously done on that worksheet, and from the site), all my date gets
compacted into one column instead of pasting in a table format.

I tried (I thought) the various paste (source/destination) and paste
special
(text/HTML) options, and it doesn't seem to matter.

What gives? I've done this successfully with this sheet and site before,
but
now it won't work properly!

Any suggestions?
