MS Excel - copying and pasting text into word doc or Notpad

When copying and pasting text from Excel into MS Word as unformated text it still includes double quotes in the text being pasted.
Is there some function like TRIM to remove the double text?

=CLEAN(A1) works, but I would have to fill another cell/column of cells.  Could I simple do a;
CLEAN(text) then copy it.

Hello,

I cannot reproduce that.

- select Excel cells with text and copy
- paste as "unformatted text only" into Word

No quotes.

Can you show a screenshot or the Excel source file? Is the text wrapped in quotes in Excel?

Or could one do something like this, in one cell
"Include this text"(A2) "with this number" (A3) "with this text."

In other words, cancatenating text with cells having numbers to make one single statement like;
Include this text 100 with this number 10000 with this text.
Have you seen my post?

What do you want to achieve? Post a data sample, otherwise it will be hard to give you exact instructions.

="Include this text "&A2&" with this number "&A3&" with this text."

copy the result. Paste it to Word. There will be no quotes in Word.

Found this; =B3&TEXT(A3,"0%")
But this is my next problem, the cells (B3) is a time format:
0:00:14.12            0:00:05.50            0:00:19.62
0:00:19.62            0:00:06.02            0:00:25.64
And I get this;
"0.000134027777777778<p begin="
I need to keep this format; 0:00:14.12
