When I pull things off the internet, Paste Special only allows me to paste
HTML, Unicode Text, or Text. The other Paste Special window is never an

Have you tried to first format the column to text, and then when you do the
paste, use "Paste Special" and select "values"? Your normal Paste also replaces

And have you tried to tell it paste as text after first formatting the cells as
text?
