Pasting into Dymo Labelwriter: Suppressing Quotation Marks

I have a very long list of names/affiliations in Excel 2003 file that I want to use to create labels on a Dymo Labelwriter. The Labelwriter software has a "paste and print" function -- you can copy from one application and paste directly into the tray icon. You don't create a single file with all the names -- it essentially just overwrites the last entry with the next one. This is handy at an event when checking in people -- find their names, print a label.

This works fine on cells where there is a single line of text, but where the there are two lines -- and apparently alt-ent was used to enter a hard return -- the text pastes with quotation marks at beginning and end.

This will be cumbersome to deal on-site, where someone would have to go into each label and remove the quotation marks before printing. Is there some better way to deal with this?
