OriginPro 2021 (64-bit) Beta 4 9.8.0.138
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1

Greetings!

I copy several text strings to clipboard and want to paste them on a worksheet in such a way that each text string goes to a separate cell. However, if I paste to a worksheet Origin automatically splits the string using spaces as delimiters.

Is there a way to disable this automatic separation?

You can double click on a cell to enter the edit mode, and then paste. This will put all contents from the clipboard into this single cell.

OK, but this is not what I need.
I need that each string line pasted to a separate cell in the column.

Set @PST=1 to disable, and I can see Excel default paste keep spaces in such case, so we will improve this, adding new

Paste (Keep Spaces)

to cell right-click menu. Otherwise people will never find out about this system variable.
