Problem with cell autoformat
 

I have an HTML data (ex. 17-2 with "-2" in red-colored uppecase)

I want to paste it to MSExcel but it converts "17-2" to calendar date
(ex. 17.feb). THIS IS NOT NEEDED!

I can fix the cells manually, but it takes too much time.

How to fobid to excel converting (autoformatting) cell types?

Thanks, Roman.

Edit-Paste Special

or

Format the cell as text first
edit the cell (double click or hit F2) and then paste.

Thank you for answer, but it doesn't help (see results in attached
pictures).

The matter that I need to paste FORMATTED text to have some handsome
result :)

I suppose the problem is that excel AUTOMATICALLY changes the format of
cell from text (that I have pre-formetted) to date in the very moment of
pasting.
