Following link shows some example of "tram" used in a sentence.
http://sara.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/saraWeb?qy=tram


Excel query seems not able to get the list in the above link.

I would like to have "Tram" store in Cells (1,1) and list part of reults searched, say 5 sentences, in worksheet. Also, is it possible to not get A3M 66 as shown as below?

A3M (http://thetis1.bl.uk/BNCbib/A3.html#A3M) 66 But the modern tram could hardly be more different.

Thanks in advance.
Emily

Have you tried a web query?

Emily, excel cannot get the information you require from your search as it isn't in a table format.
