<pre>(In reply to Dagur from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=142930#c0">comment #0</a>)
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.
<span class="quote">> Additional Info:
> This is a regression</span >
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.</pre>
