Can I Scan a document with words and numbers into Excel and work on them

I pasted some text and then ran “Text to Columns”. Excel interpreted some of the data as correctly as time, but I am working in small time fractions and it rounded to 10th of a second. If I clear formatting pr treat as a number, the original value is gone. Problem 1!
So, I decide to delete and start over, using the decimal as a separator., since I only care about the fractional seconds. Now, whenever I paste the original text, Excel tries to save me by re-interpreting it as columns, even when I start a new spreadsheet. Does anyone know of a way to stop Excel from ‘helping’?

Thanks NB, it is actually a text file with variable length fields and no delimiters. I am trying to make a macro to import the file with the correct column breaks so I don’t have to go through the text file format and click on the same line breaks each time, but I also want to retain spaces.
Is their any way to retain spaces using the fixed length column breaks?
i.e. file format has field 1 being 5 bytes and field two having 10 bytes, etc with no delimiter

I have 240 text files (dxdiag reports) that I would like to put into an excel spreadsheet. I do not need all of it but would like to have about nine different lines from the file placed in cells with one row per file (computer). Is this possible or do I have to take it to access via macros or some type of script? Thanks for any suggestions.

Is it possible to post up the VB code for your import?
I’m trying to create a macro, creating a button, click, then import my *.txt file into Excel, then run these steps…

1.) Open Excel, then open your log file. This should bring up the file import dialog.

2.) Select “Delimited”, Start Import @ row 3, and “Windows (ANSI)” as the file origin.

3.) For delimiters, add a check next to “Space” and keep the one next to “Tab”.

4.) Click Finish and your data will be imported properly.

When importing text, is there any way to retain spaces? Excel always strips them off.
