Default How to get double quotes to show up after pasting?

I need to copy text surrounded by double quotes (for example "example") from
another application and paste it in Excel. After pasting, the double quotes
disappear in Excel, while I don't want that. (pasting "example" results in a
cell showing the word example, while it should be "example").
Does anyone know how I can set up Excel so that it doesn't manipulate the
text string and just pasts it exactly as it is copied to the clipboard?
Appreciate your help.
