Copying HTML tables to Excel

Forgot how I was able in the past to get complex web tables to properly get put into an Excel worksheet (my former MFL, aka Master Feature List).  I now remember, thanks to this post, that what I would do is:

• Open the page in question in IE
• Save locally
• Add a stylesheet in the header to get the next step to work correctly

<STYLE type="text/css">
br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}
</STYLE>

• Resave the local HTML page
• Open the local HTML page in IE
• Copy and paste from IE into Excel
• Wha la, just what I wanted.
