If you want to use another format, either paste them as values into pre-formatted cells (otherwise you'll just get serial #s)

Evidently, you've never heard of preformatting the destination as text... Content like '24-7' pasted from another application will remain '24-7'. Likewise, it seems you've never explored the 'Paste Special 'options, one of which is 'Keep source formatting'...
