Default Changing the default delimiter

Hello,
When one is pasting text into Excel from somewhere the default delimiter is
'tab' between cells, and a carriage return starts a new row.

This is pretty logical, but is there a facility to change the default 'tab'
delimiter to something else (like a space or a comma)?
This would be ultra useful and save creating a csv file or using text to
columns.

Can I be so bold as to suggest that there be an option under Tools Options ?

If there is a way to do this all input gladly received.

Thanks,

--
