If I run the following the the string appears in the cell WITH all the

but if I copy that string from another application into a cell in
Excel then the result is 'helloworld' in a box i.e the tags have
become active

How can I change the code so the tags are active?

Any help appreciated

If you add a reference to the Microsoft Forms2.0 Object Library (via
tools/references) the following seems to work:

Sub test()

Dim DataObj As New DataObject
Dim HTML As String
Dim myRange As Range

HTML = "<html<table border=""1""<thhelloworld</th</table</html"

Set myRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(10, 4)

DataObj.SetText (HTML)
DataObj.PutInClipboard

myRange.PasteSpecial
End Sub
