Default Web Query Question


Hello all,

I am a newbie to Excel so I apoligize in advance.

I am required at my job to copy specific text from a website and paste
it in to a specific cell in an Excel spreadsheet. I have been manually
copy/pasting from the website into the spreadsheet. I am required to do
this hundreds of times a day. I know there has to be a way to automate
this process.

After searching on Google I came across Excel Web Query feature. This
is almost exactly what I am looking for. The problem is that the text
on the website that I need to import into Excel is not in a table.
(which I gather is required by the web query feature in order to work)

Am I on the right track? Is the web query the right way to do this
task?

If not I have come to ask you all, the experts how I can accomplish
this.

It seems like this would be fairly simple to do, but I cant for the
life of me figure out how.

Any suggestions or help would be awsome.

Thank you,

Joe.
