Read this first: In several sites, you have a choice as to how to view data. If you have a choice, choose "text" (txt) or "ASCII": it's not as pretty, but it imports into Tinkerplots much easier than a complete webpage. There may be pages where you may have to copy-paste the data into Quattro Pro (or Excel) before importing into Tinkerplots.
