Default pasting content copied from nonadajacent cells

I am trying to copy text from nonadjacent cells in a row in one spreadsheet
using Control/Select/Copy, and paste the text into adjacent cells in a row in
another spreadsheet. When I paste the content in, all the content from cells
between those I copied will paste in also. For instance if I copy C5, F5 and
H5, then paste into new spreadsheet, I'll get C5, D5, E5, F5, G5 and H5.
Excel help does not say anything about pasting content, only how to copy it.

Default pasting content copied from nonadajacent cells

This can only be done when copied cells are in same column or row.

Hold CTRL key and click on each of the non-contiguous cells C5, F5 and H5

Copy then paste.
