Can I copy/paste a table from an MPD web page into Excel or MS Word?
YES. Most MPD data tables can be copy/pasted directly into Microsoft Excel for local manipulation and analysis. This works with MSIE and Firefox browsers, and maybe others: 1. For best results set black line table borders preference first. Click on Preferences at the top of any MPD page. After you’ve set the black lines preference, refresh the page that has the table on it. 2. With the desired MPD table showing in your browser, select the table by dragging downward over it with the mouse. Be sure to begin dragging the mouse above the top/beginning of the table in your selection. Then on the top menu bar choose Edit/Copy (or hold right mouse button down and select Copy). 3. In Excel (or MS Word) select Edit/Paste. The table data should appear. If it doesn’t come out right the first time, try once or twice more using different starting points for the mouse drag operation.. there sometimes seems to be a bit of voodoo involved!
