Try removing any kind of line break between the lines in Word. Then paste
the cell into Excel, and add an Alt+Enter where you want a break. Other
than that, what you're getting is normal behavior - Excel is doing what it
was designed to do.

Using Office 2003. I have created a table in Word where the first column
is address information on 3 lines in one cell (Name, Address, City State
Zip)

Before going further with this Word table, I decided I really wanted to
track the information in Excel. Having trouble pasting the 3 lines of
information from the Word table cell into one cell in Excel. It keeps
pasting into three cells (i.e. A1 gets the name, A2 gets the address, A3
gets the city state zip). I'd like these three lines of information to
paste into one three-line cell in the Excel table.

I've tried changing the Word table so that there is a manual line break at
the end of each line rather than a hard return. No difference when I
paste into Excel.

I've tried doing a paste special in Excel after I copy from Word. No
difference.

There must be something I haven't thought of trying.
