Why is Excel trying to access the network

[Wandering Child]

I'm pasting some text into a cell - it did come from a website, but
it's not a link or anything.

It's just plain text - why the need to access the network?

Maybe it's another cell, switch to formula view and see
if you see something else. Because the formula view may
not show everything, you might want to copy to another sheet
so you can adjust columns to see your formulas better without
affecting the column widths on the original.
