Default Excel is automatically doing "text to columns" upon paste text.

How do I stop Excel from automatically doing "text to columns" when I paste
text/numbers from a document?

Default

You probably have a delimiter set for TEXT TO COLUMNS within the spreadsheet
you are editing. Before pasting the text/numbers from the document, do a
TEXT TO COLUMNS parse on no data and deselect all of the delimiters that are
set. Then paste in the data you want to paste.

Come back if you have more questions.
