Converting PDF or HTML to Excel
 

Is there a way to take the information in this link:
http://204.65.203.5/public/441280noadd.pdp

and convert it into an excel spreadsheet that separates the information
according to name, zip code, etc?

This is the main website with numerous listings. The file is in PDF too.

Thank you!

Converting PDF or HTML to Excel
 

Using the first link, I copied the displayed text to Notepad and saved it as
a .txt file. Then I opened Excel and used Data -- Import External Data with
settings to look for .txt, .dat & .csv type files and made sure the data
separator was a comma and it imported into Excel very nicely.
