Can the "grid" be copied to an excell file?

Yeah, you Mac guys can't even play any cool computer games.

Medal of Honor is a cool game!

No, it's what happens when your wife is in public relations and graphic design and thinks she needs a bunch of bells and whistles then doesn't really but is now stuck on Mac and so there you go.

Sigh.

Happy Valentine's Day.

The world hates us Mac users.

Or it could be that Mac users choose not to conform to the world's expectations.

Like I said before, it has got to be a Mac issue.

I have also copied-from-IE and pasted-to-Excel successfully, many times.

[PD@HQ]

Using IE, I clicked-and-dragged all the Grid data, rifht-clicked to Copy and then right-clik-Pasted into an open Excel sheet. The entire thing fell in just as it looks on the site. I had to change some column widths and other minor formatting stuff, but otherwise NP.

Tried the Firefox edit method and yes, everything does appear in the proper rows, but what a mess!
Not really a point to having all the names "mashed" together like that, very hard to read when you can't place them below eachother.
I don't think I will bother, too much headache.

did both pasting and special paste..no difference..I'll try the firefox option when I get a sec.

When using this firefox extension, is this an option in the Firefox drop down menus?

Once you install it, there's a new option under Edit, as I described earlier.

Just to make things easier, here's the link to the extension.

Thanks for the help gents.

Tom: would you share the name of that Firefox extension?

Table2Clipboard. It's a little tricky to use at first. You have to remember to hold down the Ctrl key while you highlight. You can then release the Ctll key. There will then be a new Edit menu option available: Copy Table Elements. Once you select it, you can then do a straight paste right into Excel.

When using IE, try just pasting instead of paste special. The microsoft products seem to handle passing HTML to each other better.

IE does the same damned thing for me that Firefox and Safari did.

Most names in the DH and the R$ spot.
Tried to do all your formatting steps and the excell sheet did everything but spit at me.

Pitchers mixed with OF's, Pitchers mixed in same rows as SS's, etc.

Now I am guessing it is a "Mac" issue.

There is a Firefox extension that kind of solves the problem. With it, I am able to paste the grid into a spreadsheet, completely unformatted. All of the rows and columns can be edited and resized, just as if you had created the spreadsheet from scratch. The only problem is that the names in a cell run together. Example: "Ortiz, DHafner, T". But the names do appear in their proper cells.
