Problem with Pasting Data

I am having a problem with copying and pasting Data into excel from a certain
webpage.

The problem is that it takes too long for the data to get pasted into the
excel sheet.
The problem suspected is that there are some images very very smal which
have links embedded into them and excel takes tool ong for pasting the
links.....is there any way to make it faster coz i dont need the links only
the data

I have tried using paste special and then as unicode or text then it pastes
ok but the problem is tht then the data from webpage losses its formatting.

Thanks U.
