Copying cells from Google Docs to Numbers doesn't work

I've tried multiple times now to copy data from a Google Docs into a Numbers spreadsheet, to no avail. I'm trying to copy two columns of data, about 150 rows long, and instead of it pasting into two columns, it pastes into a single column in Numbers.

Why is this? Is there a setting that affects how data is pasted into Numbers that I can change?

BH,

It seems that Google and Apple are still on the "outs". I found that if you Paste the Google Docs cell range to LibreOffice, and then Copy and Paste to Numbers, all is well.

Don't try copying entire columns in Google Docs or LibreOffice, instead specify the range explicitly.
