title: Enforce Excel template formatting for all the cells
body: <p>Please let me know if there is a way to enforce cell formatting in Excel workbook. </p>
  
  <p>Basically I have a workbook(template) that I will distribute to my users. My Users then will fill the template with the data and send it back to me. But when the users do the copy and paste from another excel sheet or from other source, the numbers fields are getting automatically converted to number format by Excel. I dont want that. I want to enforce all the fields as text. I cannot add data validation rule because, I dont want to add extra effort to my users to correct the data validation errors.</p>
  
  <p>What I want in this case is that - Excel to keep everything as text and dont add any formatting by its own and also keep the destination formatting no matter what the source formatting is.</p>
  
  <p>Excel versions that I support are greater than Office 2007 format i.e., xlsx files</p>
  
  <p>Please help. Thanks in advance.</p>
