First you have to copy the text you want to paste to notepad, then select the text you want to paste with Alt+Shift+Down in notepad. Then follow the guideline above and select the area with Alt+Shift+Down and then paste . It is probably not a version issue. @Rombus gave the correct answer in the comment.

1) Mark

2) Push Alt+c to open Column editor

3) Enter text there

EDIT

As commented by @chapo it now works fine with Alt-Shift-Down and then pasting.

Can you select your column with Alt+Shift+Down, type in a single unique character then use Search+Replace to get your text inserted the way you want?
