What you describe is normal, and worked that way from the start IIUC. The
"number" is not a format coming with pasted text, but is coming from the cells
that you are *pasting to*: the plain text is inserted, processed as normal
input (as if you typed those texts sin formula bar), and interpreted according
to the usual rules (cells having a numeric number format try to interpret the
strings as numbers). You need to have cells pre-formatted as text to avoid
automatic conversion of input to numbers.

This is unexpected; so please provide necessary info: in which version was it
different. I have just tested with OOo 1.0.3 from 2002, and it already worked
this way there.
