Ok, this almost works (thank you!). Next problem: paste 6006491199999999999
and it replaces the last four 9s with 0s. Any ideas?

If the cell is already formatted as Text, then have them paste directly into the

My input call is formatted as text. However when my users try to paste large
(20 digit) numbers into it (copied from outlook email) these paste in as
scientific notation and the cell format changes to general. This also
happens using any option in Paste Special.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but what?
Many thanks, Sian
