Default Pasting delimited text from clipboard directly into Excel Spreadsh

Many a times I need to paste delimited text from other applications (UNIX
telnet sessions etc.) directly into an Excel Spreadsheet.
I select and copy the delimited text to the clipboard.
But when I try to paste or "paste special" in Excel, I do not see anyway I
can paste the delimited text into separate cells.
Instead, I end-up creating a delimited text file and then import the file
into a spreadsheet.
It would be great if Microsoft can provide a method to paste the delimited
text directly into a spreadsheet from the clipboard.
