Default Paste from Word table into Excel

I have a very simple table in Word that I need to get into Excel. It seemed
very easy to just cut and paste.
Here's the problem, one column of information is an identification number
fomratted like
1-00
4-03
5-01
Excel is interpreting this as a date. I thought I could choose paste values
to avoid the conversion but it is grayed out. If I choose paste special,
Excel recognizes the source (I guess) and I get to choose from a short list
of things rather than what I am accustom to seeing when I choose paste
special.
Can anyone help?
