Windows 10: When I copy a number format, it converts it and pastes a random text of numbers and letters

I've had this problem for a few months now and it gets really annoying.For example, when I copy a number format like geography point from browser and I paste it, it converts to random letters and it feels like its corrupted.For example when I copy the 13.70131, -89.22448 etc. It gets converted to bc1qjk0a2tez6yle8enzad25e5rww5za4tv7dywaa6.I thought it was the browser, but when I manually write the series of numbers in the "text document" application and copy it from there and paste it there, it always throws the same problem. It doesn't matter if it's in other browsers like Mozilla, Opera, EDG

copy paste for phone numbers

Hello kishoretvk:



Thank you for posting to the forum regarding your question about copying and pasting phone number on the dialer pad. This is something that is not currently available on the Windows 7 phone. We do value our customers feedback and use suggestions to improve
new and existing products. With that said you can add your suggestion to the feature and suggestions thread,

http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions.



I am not sure if this helps at all but this may be an acceptable work around. If you add the number in the dialer pad to your contacts list you can then go into that contact to edit the number. When you are in the editing screen you will simply need to
tap the number and slide the highlighter to cover the number. You should notice the copy icon that will allow you to add the number to your clipboard.



Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

In CALC convert text date to number date

The reason for the conversion was to put a long column of text dates, like 03/10/1998 in chronological order.

After much searching, I found this gem on my hard drive. It works for OpenOffice Calc so it may work for Excel.

If you want to apply a numerical format to a column of numbers in text format (for example, text "000123" becomes number "123"), do the following:

1. Select the column in which the digits are found in text format. Set the cell format in that column as "Number".
   
2. Choose Edit - Find & Replace
   
3. In the Search for box, enter ^[0-9]
   
4. In the Replace with box, enter &
   
5. Check Regular expressions
   
6. Check Current selection only
   
7. Click Replace All
