Default Arabic Dates - special feature!

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can help me - we're trying to get some data
out of modelling software & into Excel, for further manipulation. To
do this, you 'copy' the data in the modelling software & then paste it
as a sheet into excel. Unfortunately, some of the nodes are labelled
as 'A1/1' and 'A2/1' and when you paste this in, it magically changes
to an arabic date (type A1/1 into a cell & you'll see what I mean).
Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

Cheers,
Kate
