Please do the following:

Close all Excel windows.
-
Open Excel. (Not NodeXL, just plain Excel.) In cell A1, paste "6/19/2013 14:03", without the quotes. What appears in the cell after you do the paste? (On my computer, "6/19/2013 14:03" appears in the cell.)

-
On the Edges worksheet in the NodeXL workbook (the worksheet that shows when you create a NodeXL workbook), paste "6/19/2013 14:03" into cell N3. That's the first empty cell in the "Add Your Own Column Here" column. What appears in the cell after you do the paste? (On my computer, "6/19/2013 14:03" appears in the cell.)
