[Tex/LaTex] Tool for manipulating LaTeX tables (HTML to LaTeX)

htmltables

I am wondering if there is any tool that can help me work with tables in LaTeX. Specifically I'd like to be able to import HTML tables (or small Excel tables) into LateX

Are there tools that can help me do that painlessly?

I think that, if you are able to import your html tables in Excel or OpenOffice Calc, these tools are what you need:

The first one is a macro you add to your Excel, and provides you with an extra button to create the LaTeX code for the table from a set of selected cells, ready to be pasted in your .tex source. The second, is an extension of OO, but should work in the same way.

Edit: there is also html2LaTeX, but I never used it.
