Default Forcing a font throughout


When I paste text from another source into my worksheet, it does not
take on the font of the rest of the sheet. I have highlighted the
entire sheet, by clicking the square between the "A" and "1", and
applied the font I want through Format Cells, but that doesn't seem to
work. How can I make outside text automatically take on the font of the
rest of the sheet?

What happens when you Paste Special|Text?

(Or if it's just going into one cell, pasting directly into the formula bar.)

It says the text is in HTML format. Is there a way to say that I always
want to paste in plain text?

Maybe opening Notepad and then pasting there first.

Then copy from there and paste into excel???
