The Export to Microsoft Excel context menu option in Internet Explorer helps you export tabular data in a Web page to Microsoft Excel. If for some reason the Export to Microsoft Excel option is not added after installing Microsoft Office 2003/2007, you can restore it back manually.

Add "Export to Microsoft Excel" command to the Context menu

Launch Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ MenuExt

Create a subkey and name it as Export to Microsoft Excel

Double-click (default) and set its Value data as follows:

For Excel 2003

res://C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE/3000

For Excel 2007

res://C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\EXCEL.EXE/3000

Exit the Registry Editor.

REG Files

To automate the above setting, download exporttoexcel.zip and save to Desktop. Unzip and run the appropriate REG file (exporttoexcel07.reg or exporttoexcel03.reg) for the version of Microsoft Excel installed. To remove the option, run the file undo.reg.

Usage

Open Internet Explorer and browse a Web page containing tabular data. Right-click on the data and choose Export to Microsoft Excel. Select one or more tables by clicking the arrows corresponding to each table.
