Copy/paste from other application without delimiting it?
 

When I copy a paragraph from another application and try to paste it in a
cell in Excel, it automatically delimits it. Does anyone know how to keep it
from doing this?

not sure what you mean by "delimits" but try pasting into the formula bar at
the top of the screen instead of just the cell?

What is the de-limiter Excel uses?

Excel will store the DataText to Columns settings if you have used that at
some time.

Check to see what the settings are and clear de-limiters such as space or
comma or other(if set).

Save the workbook then try your copy/paste.

Or paste into the formula bar as has been suggested by dlw.
