I have text copied from a pdf file to Excel(2010). I used 'text-to-columns' to create separate columns.
Now I have finished that part of my task, I want to paste another piece of text into the same file.
But now Excel directly uses the text-to-columns I used to split this new text, which I now (obvious) do not want to be split.
I tried pasting the text on a new worksheet. I tried to paste this text in a new workbook, but still the text is directly split by excel.
I tried pasting as text and I tried pasting as Unicode text. But so far, I have not found the solution for this. How can I make Excel "forget" that it has split text into columns?
Select any cell with a value and run Data ► Text-to-Columns, Delimited. Turn off all delimiters and click Finish.
Subsequent pasting of information into a worksheet will not use 'remembered' delimiters since there are none.

I am trying to copy data from excel and paste it in Notepad++.
When pasting in NPP, it is automatically inserting carriage return and the cursor goes on to the next line.
Is there any way to avoid this ? I want the cursor to remain at the end of the text after pasting.
If you are copying data from a single cell, you could do one of the following:
Double-click on the cell and then copy its contents.
Select the cell you wish to copy from, and copy its contents from the Formula Bar.
If this does not solve your problem and removing the new line after every paste is annoying you, you could also consider switching to Google Sheets or Excel Online and copying data from there. They do not seem to add a new line.
When I am copying text from one tab to another in the same Excel document it is just pasting blanks.
I can paste into other tabs fine, just not the one I want.
I am doing this with a simple Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V
I have:
Used XLCleaner
Pasted as plain values
Pasted into a new tab then copied from there
Pasted into a new workbook and copied from there
It still pastes blank cells into my source tab
This was caused by a table being "Split" into two parts with separate filters.
I had to redefine the table boundary to include all columns.
Then I could paste correctly.
Is it possible to copy and paste a string containing tab seperated values in to one cell in Excel.
For example, I have the following string :
Height 1420mm
Width 440mm
I need to copy this to one excel cell and keep the tabs inbetween. Currently, it handles them as a space, which is not what I want.
Go to Data tab> Text to column
Make sure to uncheck the tab as one of the delimiters.
Basically, when you paste a string with tab character, it will paste into multiple cells if the tab delimiter is checked. Make sure it is turned off.
I am trying to cut and paste Excel data into a Word document. The data is only in 1 column, and there are several cells that have bolding and underlining in them.
I would like to be able to copy and paste the data into a word, keeping the bold and underlining.
I have tried everything I can think of, but I don't see any way to keep the formatting in word.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Copy the table to Word as usual. Then go to Table Tools -> Layout -> Convert to Text and keep the formatting.
Convert to text

Check if this can be useful for you:
Copy the cell(s) into clipboard (Ctrl+C).
Paste into Notepad or similar text editor. Note: in Notepad the lines will appear next to each other, but nevermind, the line jumps are still there.
Replace in text editor all " (double quotes) with nothing.
Copy the whole text of the editor.
Paste into Excel.
This works in my case. If you have many cells like this next to each other, with this method you can process all at once with the same effort. Will this work for you?
