    Why can I not get this table data into Excel?

      I want to use Excel to analyse some data from the local newspaper.  The table of figures looks like this:

      I've used the 'print' function from the online newspaper to create the pdfs, then run OCR.  I can highlight the text and copy/paste it into a text document without any trouble, but I'd really like to have the data keep its columnar format.  When I highlight a part of the table then use the right-click menu to 'save as table' or 'copy as table' or 'Open data in spreadsheet', nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?
