How do I turn off Text to Columns
 
I've used text to columns with a delimiter to import some text into excel.
The problem is that now I can't turn it off. Every time I past data it wants
to apply text to columns to the pasted data. Also it does not format the
text to columns the same way that I initially set it up. Any idea?

Do another Text to Columns operation, but this time, uncheck or remove the
delimiter that you specified the first time.

Hope that helps.

Go to a cell and try to parse out the data again, but turn off the delimiters
that you chose the last time. That should fix it.
