These require a RSS reader. There are several of them available over the net.
Iv developed a Excel reader. the only problem with it is that it has to be manualy updated. Iv made it with Excel 2003. i dont know whether it will work with other versions. Guys pls also name some other RSS readers.

Hi Swagat

Do I need to install any reader?

Hi Swagat
I will get back to you.
In the mean while, try playing with the macro.
I mean when you are creating the link for XML reader, record it.

This may give some clue on auto updation.

Hi all
You can use Feed Reader to get the RSS feed. Go to http://www.feedreader.com and download the latest version feedreader. First you have to visit the page from which you want to get rss feed. There will see a button named rss feed click that, it will open a new page. From the address bar of that page copy the url address. Now open the feed reader. open file-new-feed. in the newly opened address bar in the feed reader paste the address you have copied from the web page. That is it. Now you are ready to get the feeds. Close the feed reader and open it once again. An icon of feed reader will show in the tray. Right click it and click update all feeds. Whenever there is a new feed it will display the news in a new window.
