Default Turning off date formatting


Hello,

I found something on a web page that i'm trying to paste into excel.
There are some cells that have rule book references structured like
this: 2-4-3

Excel is interpreting these rule book references as dates and would
change numbers like the above example to dates like 2/4/2003

How can i stop excel from doing this when i paste?

Thanks!
