Hi everyone,
I am Emmanuel Katto from Duabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) need to copy only a table from an email body (without including any other content) and paste it directly into Excel as a table. Does anyone know the best way to do this? Any suggestions or tips on how to achieve this efficiently would be really helpful!
