Do not re-format after the fact.

Pre-format the receiving cells to Text prior to making the paste.

I have done that already, and my message says that if I convert to text I
loose the trailing zero. I need to keep the trailing zero.. Any other thoughts

Gives these cells a Text format - the values are not numbers just a string

...
My accounting people have set up an excel spread sheet. woth part numbers.
Many of them end in a "0". Ex; 2211.11520
and if you click on a cell with a number ending in 0 , the zero goes away
on
the edit line.
When I copy and past this numeric column into other Excels or import into
other applications the Trailing 0 is gone. Any one out there know a way I
can
convert or format or save this column and it will keep the trailing zeros,
Note: when I convert the column from a number to text the trailing zeros
drop off.
Help!
