Copy paste code into 1 cell

[meg9696]

Hello

Can anyone help me paste code into a single excel sheet?
I have googled and found various options but none that works for me. I am using excel for mac 2015.
Here is the piece of code for example that should appear in a single cell and with the formatting preserved if possible.
For some reason I cannot paste the below with the indents, I have even tried clip board but it does not preserve the indents that
I am trying to show below.
<line1>
<line 2="">For anyone coming from development world, I think you know how the code gets indented and basically that is what should appear in a single excel cell after I paste it. Any help much appreciated!
<line3><line3><line2><line1><match:uri.wildcard value="/*minitri.flg /*livetri.zip"><line 1="">
line 2
line3
line3/>
line 2/>
<line 1="">

</line></line></match:uri.wildcard></line1></line2></line3></line3></line></line1>

I don't know if using a Mac makes a difference, but I just paste code after clicking into one cell one time, and it uses the same number of rows as the code is, and it indents them as well...

One other thought, try copying and pasting it into a word document, then copy it from there into an Excel doc, it gives you the option to keep source formatting at that time...
