Can you "copy [the entire Yahoo price page] and paste" vis-a-vis highlighting just the price history lines and pasting into a spreadsheet?

For instance, hit command-C (on a Mac) over the entire page of ^GSPC and NOT highlighting the prices outputs the following where you can delete all lines above the word "Download" and be left with your price history:

That doesn't work on my browser. I get the headers and so on, down to "Feedback", but no price data.
But "File | Save page as..." works, selecting .txt format.
