       Could you highlight the area(s) you desire then copy then paste to wherever you wish the 
data?
            that's my system;
       [but I may not be understanding to what you're referring since I have no clue as what smf is

Hi



Preamble ...skip if in a hurry

--------------------------------------------

*I've been on the m$ office treadmill for 15 + years

*I've always been scared of Linux and thought it was all command line

*Recently stumbled on Linux and libre office ...so I am  completely new to

libre office

*Used it for a few days ... Truly it's a great piece of software and

dispelled most of my doubts on Linux, using Linux, libre office etc etc



Question / request reading

------------------------------------------

*However some specific doubts remain on libre office

*I've been using M$ XL's add on for grabbing web data , called smf add in

*When activated, once could easily grab specific pages, specific cells of

web pages directly into xl ( without opening a web browser)

*This is a great time saver

*The only and only /  excellent  group for using smf add in  can be found at

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/

*Some  basic write up on using smf add in can be found here

http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/326478-derek-a-barrett/1414481-automating-alpha-getting-started-with-stock-market-functions-smf-add-in-for-excel




Now, my question is , is there a similar add in for libre office, when

invoked , could help the user  get specific cells ( not the whole web page )

from a URL  into libre xl sheets ? Of course the user supplies the URL



Or is there some app in Linux that can do the same ?



How do people grab specific web data ( not entire pages ) but specific data

for web pages into libre calc ?



Request to Moderators ; if I am posting on the wrong area or group please

most this post accordingly





Thanks in advance

Regards
