Start the "Data/ Text to columns" dialogue again. Deselect the comma
delimiter. At this stage you can cancel, and hopefully the paste will then
be OK.

I sleceted some cells and did some text to column conversion with a
comma as teh delimiter. After doing this I had some data from another
source that I pasted into another cell on this spreadsheet and the
text to column function was invoked on this data. was there something
I had to do to terminate the earlier text to column operation?
