Most likely Excel treated the numbers as labels. To convert them to numbers,
copy an empty cell, select the pasted range, use Edit-Paste Special-Add and
Values, click on OK

I pasted a column of simple numbers from a word doc to an excell spreadsheet.
When I try to find sum of cell range, pasted data (although visible) is not

Help!
