I have a cell formatted as General and shrink-to-fit. When I copy text that is too long for the cell to the cell, the format changes to wrap text. Can I use vb to stop this from happening?

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).

Copy
Paste Special > Values

Seems to work...
