Default database creation

i am trying to creat a directory in excel. I have about a 1000 listings i've
found, but it is very tedious entereing them all (name, address, phone #) one
by one. Is there a spider or bot or something that can take this info and add
it into excel for me?

Where are the listings you found?

Maybe you could use the DataImport External Data and choose Import Data or New
Web Query.

It depends on the format/media of your source data. If it's in an electronic
file, it may be imported.........if it's on hard-copy, it may be scanned...
