Default Can excel display HTML in cells

I am pulling HTML directly from a database and pasting into a cell. I want
excel to display whatever is in the cells as it would on a webpage (ie strip
the tags off and display as the tags say to display). The HTML tags are very
basic.

I am using office 2003

Can this be done?

Adam,

Just save the data as an HTML file and open that HTML file with Excel.
Excel is pretty good at reading HTML formatting.

The problem with that is that there is other information on the page and the
method you mentioned doent work too well with that extra data. I was hoping
you could format a single cell to tell it what is contained within that cell
is html as you can do for dates/times etc...
