I do a reasonable amount of research on the web where I will
cut-and-paste an HTML table into Excel to allow for later indexing.

When the table is pasted a variety of information is transfered - text,
hyperlinks in the form of text, as well as hyperlinks in the form of
small icons/pictures...

Through this group I have found out how to convert the character-based
hyperlinks to benign text (i.e. unclickable but available for
reference).

Where the hyperlink appears as an icon (or a picture) I would like to
extract the URL details and paste them into an adjacent cell and then
(possibly) remove the picture object. Manually removing the picture
objects is a possibility but the primary function I need is to
automatically extract the hyperlink detail as text...

help ideas?
