Default web page to table

I would like to do if possible at all -- copy and paste or however I can do
it--info from a web page to a table. In word, or excel. Whichever is easier.
There are 4 columns of info (although they are not in columns in the web
page) and I would like to put them in 4 colums in a table. This would
eliminate typing so much information! I copied and pasted the information,but
I dont know how to put it in to 4 different columns. It all goes into one
column of course....

Thanks!

If each chunk is a separate paragraph (ends with a paragraph break) and
there are no paragraph breaks within it (only line breaks), then use Table |
Convert | Text to Table, separating at paragraph marks and making sure that
Word expects the result to be four columns.
