How do i stop paste from spreading text across multiple cells ?
 

It's probably not spread across cells, but just displayed across cells.
Enter a space in the cell next to the one you paste in.

Using Excel 2000:
Is there anyway to stop Excel's Paste method from taking multiline data
thats been put onto the clipboard and spreading it across multiple cells. I
need to copy large chunks of text and graphics and paste into distinct cells
for later retrieval.
