    Smile Text to Columns Wizard - Stopping it

    I am getting frustrated with the Text to Columns Wizard. After using it once on a spreadsheet, it continues to opperate whenever I paste.

    Is there a way to stop it from automatically converting text to columns when I paste?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Compliments of Andy Pope, a macro I keep in Personal.xls for just that purpose:

    Nice shg.

    I've only done rudimentary macros. Where do I keep Personal.xls so it is available?

    If you ever want to do the same manually... once you've run the TtC - rerun TtC on one cell and un-check the settings you used before and click Finish...
    This feature bugs me too! I for one don't really like it when XL tries to be "helpful"

    I got two for the price of one on this one.
    Thanks so much for the code and help sheet.

    Works like a charm.
