[QUOTE="calcol, post: 8443646, member: 77639"]To copy a set composition table from the PCGS registry to your spreadsheet: 1. Make sure all the data you want is on the page. Look in the lower left corner to see how many rows of data exist. You can change the number rows per page with the Show option also in the lower left corner. 2. Using the mouse, highlight the data. Note you will be highlighting entire rows. No way to avoid this with most browsers. 3. Right-click the highlighted area and chose copy from the menu. Alternately, press ctrl-C on the keyboard. This action puts the table in the clipboard. 4. Choose an empty area on the spreadsheet that can accommodate all the rows of data plus at least 4 columns of data. Right click on the upper left corner of this area. 5. The following may vary a bit for different brands of spreadsheet: From the menu that appears, paste may be an option that you can use (alternately ctrl-V from the keyboard). This will paste the data into the spreadsheet along with the html formatting (and maybe more) used on the webpage. The html formatting (and maybe more) may be undesirable and hard to change. I highly recommend that when you right click on the area in the spreadsheet that if the spreadsheet offers an option to paste the data as plain text, use that option. May appear as paste text, paste options or paste special in the menu. If you bring in the data as plain text, any formatting will be your own, and you won’t bring in undesirable links and other trash. Delete any columns of data, like weights and bonuses, that you don’t want to keep. Cal[/QUOTE]
