[mso] Excel question on importing web data

Question on Excel, either 2003 or 2010:  I'm trying to import data from a web 
site (any site).  If I select the entire web page, I get the entire page as a 
set of text values, one  item per row, generally, and some tables as multiple 
rows and multiple columns.  If I select a particular table, I always get a 
message that the query produced no data.  Is there some switch I've neglected 
to empower, or some setting that must be set just so?  Every published text and 
web help source (so far) has yielded nothing new.  Is there any hope?

Thanks,

David Groves
