Huh? I don't see a "paste special text" option on the edit menu in Excel 2002.
So I can't help you with that.

But if you format the cell as TEXT **before** you paste the value into it, you
should be able to execute and ordinary paste operation.

Hi. I think the op is using "paste special" from a copy operation in a
non-Excel program.
If Excel is in Linking mode, (copied from within Excel) then paste special
pulls up it's own "Paste Special" window.
If copied from say "Notepad", then Paste special in Excel pulls up Windows
Paste Special, with limited capabilities.
From Notepad, I see Paste Special | Text (& Unicode text). If copied from
Wordpad, there are a few more options. :>)

OK, that's a possibility, depending on what he is doing. However,
pre-formatting the cells as TEXT should still solve his problem, I would think.

Are you copying from Excel, or from another application?

Sorry to resurrect an old post. I had a similar instance during ANOVA of some helpdesk phone data. My value came to 7.3E-19. The solution was to format the cell's number to include 20 (arbitrary number > 19) decimal places. Therefore my value was 0.00000000000000000073.
