Hi,
Straight off the top on this (as I don't know if this may affect things); I have switched from an ageing Mac Powerbook, Excel 2004 for Mac, and an out-of-date version of Firefox to an IMac with Excel 2011 for Mac and Safari as a browser. The only reason why I mention this is because I don't know if it was easier to do this on an older platform (one of those bizzare situations where going forwards is actually a step backwards).
In short I like doing things with Sports data in Excel. Usually I would hit my favourite website for pulling sports data (which incidentally I don't know if this has changed as I've been too busy to do much of this kind of thing for about 4 months - or if it is just a different format on a newer machine/different browser);

The link should be showing NFL results for this year so far (I like the site as it has a handy amount of other sports etc.).
I would usually then go edit/paste special - unicode text and then hit the paste options, use the text import wizard, go delimited, tabs - and usually everything would come in on a row and then I could do what I need to do with it (e.g. use Excel's text functions to get the data - taking spaces out for example - to where I want it to do other things).
The problem I seem to be having now is that when I do the above - things no longer seem to come in on the same row (which makes life difficult for doing things easily with the data). Once things end up on different rows it becomes a pain to do basic things.
In short is there a way round this (or do I need to find another source for my data with tables laid out in a more friendly way to "borrow" data)?
I am happy to switch browser if it comes to it, as I like using Excel to do things with sports data (just for fun) and wouldn't rule that out.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
