Default how paste w/o put in columns?

Thanks for any help.
I want to paste some help doc stuff from a program (Freedom, a program for
making the annual statement for insurers) into Excel. When I paste it, each
word goes into a different column.
I would like it so that everything goes into just the first column. Is this
possible?
I've pasted different stuff before, and it seems that's how it normally
goes, but this time it doesn't. I don't know if I have set any options or
features related to this.
Thanks again.

Highlist the cell you want to put the data into. Then paste the data into
the fx box on the top of the excel worksheet

Thanks Joel!
Sorry, I should have mentioned, I would like each line to be on a different
row too. Is that possible?
Thanks.

Make sure wrap cell is on for the cell you want to add new line. This is in
format Cell - Alignment. The to add new line hold down the ALT key and press
enter.
