    Solved: Get portion of search results

    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 66 But the modern tram could hardly be more different.

    Thanks in advance.
    Emily

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