Default paste web without date format

When i paste from a web page, Excel 2007 automatically changes any text that
might be considered a date into date format. In the Excel help, it indicates
that after pasting, a "format options" button should appear that gives you
the choice of maintaining the original format. However, this button never
appears. When pasting a large amount of data, it's not worth it to go in and
re-type all of the cells that are formatted wrong. Any ideas?
