Forcing a font throughout

[mattslav]

When I paste text from another source into my worksheet, it does not take on the font of the rest of the sheet. I have highlighted the entire sheet, by clicking the square between the "A" and "1", and applied the font I want through Format Cells, but that doesn't seem to work. How can I make outside text automatically take on the font of the rest of the sheet?

What happens when you Paste Special|Text?

(Or if it's just going into one cell, pasting directly into the formula bar.)

It says the text is in HTML format. Is there a way to say that I always want to paste in plain text?

Maybe opening Notepad and then pasting there first.

Then copy from there and paste into excel???
