ExcelBanter - Copying text from a Browser window into Excel

Don

Several methods to accomplish this.......I like Tushar's best if importing to
Excel.

To add a "Print Directory" feature to Explorer, go to
this KB Article.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;q272623&

Or you can download Printfolder 1.2 from.....

http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom
features.

OR Go to DOS(Command) prompt and directory.
Type DIR MYFILES.TXT

All the above create a *.TXT file which can be opened in Notepad or
Excel.

One more method if you want to by-pass the *.TXT file and pull
directly to Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in. This allows filtering
and sorting once you have the data in Excel.

Listing.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.

Howdy all.

OS: XP, Excel 2002 SP3

I have my music stored in the My Music directory. I have Artist, Album
Title, etc. attributes turned on. What I'd like to do is to take all of this
information and input it into an Excel spreadsheet. When I "Select All" from
the window, and "Copy", it wants to copy the actual songs, and not the text.
Also, the "Paste" option in Excel is grayed out anyway.

Is there a way that I can treat the info in a Browser window as just text,
and then copy that info into a spreadsheet?

TIA.
