Default pasting in XL for Macintosh

I received the following inquiry from someone who uses Excel 2004 for
the Mac. I can't replicate it in either Excel 2003 or Excel 2007 for
Windows. Has anyone come across this issue in the Mac version of
Excel?

"Go to IMDB and look at a typical cast list. You see the cast member's
name, followed by three dots, followed by his character. Formerly,
when I copied and pasted this into Excel, each of those appeared in
its own column. Now, the name is split into as many columns as there
are words in the name, etc., as if it was automatically doing a text-
to-column operation using spaces as the delimiter. If it is, how do I
disable it? If something else is going on, how do I fix it?"

Thanks,

Dave
