The extension does work.

The problem is that there is a BUG in the Trim functions when handling
numbers.

If you do =TRIM("  Testing   Trim   ") and copy and Paste Special as Text to
another cell, you get "Testing Trim" (without quotes)

However if you do =TRIM("1.25   ") you get 1.25 as expected but not if you
do =TRIM(1.25   ), which is the same as doing =TRIM(A1). In this case the
spaces are not trimmed so you get "1.25   " (without quotes) again...

So apparently TRIM is not adding the quotes as expected :) 

Fixing this probably allows to use the Extension and make your users happy
:)
