I am Copying and Pasting several fields some of which contain text data like
3-1 or 3-2-1.
Preformatting as text and Paste Special puts everything into a single field.
Preformatting and Paste converts the above fields to dates.
This is extremely "unhelpful".
1-2-3-4 is not converted to a date.
Why does Excel do this? It should be optional.
Microsoft please fix it up.
