I presently use Excel for my financial data. Excel has a template that allows
the importing of stock quotes from MSN to Excel.
I'm hoping that Open Office has something similar. ANy suggestions??
I do this OOo Calc by going to a cell where I want to display the data
(I started a fresh sheet in my spreadsheet file). Then I click
Insert>Link to External Data and type in a link like
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=VMFXX.
I find that the resulting data occupies a pair of columns of variable
row-number. To create a table of linked data I place links side-by-side
and use hlookup to access the various entries. To this I start all
links in row-2. leaving row for manually entered names, like WMFXX, to
access the data.
Hope this can meet your needs.
