Default Pasted values that paste as "number stored as text"

I am copying numeric information that is a formula and dropping it onto a
part of the spreadsheet that is pre-formatted. When I paste I do a paste
special / values but it is pasting the results as text, I have to then go and
change the result "text stored as a number" to "convert to number."

I tried to paste special / values and number formats but it still pastes as
text . . . is there any known way to shortcut the step? I have formatted the
formula data (what I'm copying) as a number but it still pastes as text.

Thx!
