Re: [JAWS-Users] Automating data from web to Excel
Hi all, Below is a short description of what I would like to automate every night. Each day I go to web to gather stock technical information. Here is how I get data: open IE alt+a for favorites type s for stock analysis favorites folder enter on link press shift+control+k to get to desired place on site There is a table of info about 6 columns with 52 rows F8 to select table control+c to copy to clipboard open Excel control+v to paste save Excel workbook Would anyone know how I could set up this procedure to run so I don't have to do it manually everyday? Any direction is appreciated. Thanks, Ann For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

I can make a script for you, but are you sure that you need this to be automatically done? Send the address (URL) of that page and the usual name for XLS file.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Automating data from web to Excel
That is so nice of you. I did not think it could be accomplished using a script but more like a .bat file in dos. Sorry I don't know what file is called in windows. I'll send you the link and my configurations with placeholders? I thought maybe I would need to learn a PC computer language but I sort of know introductory scripting. I would love to learn more to improve my productivity. Web site is not easily navigated but maybe you can give me tips. Ann Good thing I copied stuff to my CF card already.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Automating data from web to Excel
Surely a macro in Excel would be better? I have never tried to crate macros in IE but that might be possible too. If I was Han Solo I'd probably pet my wookie - Original Message - From: "Ann M.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Automating data from web to Excel
I just had a look in IE. There doesn't seem to be a macro feature in Internet Explorer but I think it could be done from Excel. I'll have a look in a day or two, the opportunity sounds interesting.
