Question Web data extractions using loops

Hello AA team

I have just purchased and installed enerprise version and I am trying out a few tasks in order to get aquainted with the tool.
I have come up with the following problems for which I would like to ask for your help:

1. When I am using the Extract data option on the Web Recorder, the mouse changes to that yellow line indicating "Click on the data etc.etc." . There I'm not sure what I should be doing because if I click on a text paragraph once, or even if I high-light the whole set of paragraphs it doesn't seem to respond, the mouse remains the same and the only way to stop the recording is to press "esc" which is supposed to cancel the data selection. Could you please indicate me how to use this feature correctly?

2. In the task editor I have a extract table statement followed by a loop for every row of the table. What I am trying to do is have the task click on the contents of every cell of the table using the loop. However when I open the Mouse click command and press F2 in order to introduce the $table Column" variable it doesn't seem to react, the only thing I am allowed to do is mouse click at a specific window-screen position. How can I insert the variable?

3. In the same table processing loop as 2. I need to extract data from each page opened by the clck preformed in 2. However when I open the web recorder / Extract data command, it asks for a specific URL. How can I tell it to extract specific data from the dynamically opened pages through the loop?

I would very much appreciate your prompt help as I seem to be completely stuck with these problems.

Thanks in advance,
Maro
