Default Text to Columns

Whenever I used text to column, the next time I copy, its uses the same
format as the last text to column when I paste.

How can I reset "Text to columns" without the need to close the Excel?

Default Text to Columns

Either go to a new worksheet or clear the area on the current worksheet. I
ofter select the entire worksheet by press the gray cell between Row 1 and
column A and the press DELETE. You can also go to a new area on the
worksheet where previous data was not imported. Excel rrecognizes that you
are import to the same area as a previous Text to Column (or imported data)
and using the old format to do the operation. You simply need to delete the
previous data.
