Default PasteSpecial - Comments and ColorIndex

I've tried this again and it works OK for me. The message
is only to tell the user that he has not copied anything
to the clipboard before running the macro.

Copy the cell then select the destination cell and then
run the macro

I entered your Sub() but when I run it (after first doing

a Copy, the
destination select - a single cell) ----- I get:
"You must copy a cell First" OK
We're almost there...
Thanks,

This should do the trick

Sub CopyFormatComents()
'Assumes that range has been copied
If Application.CutCopyMode = xlCopy Then
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteComments
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Else: MsgBox "You must copy a cell First"
End If

End Sub

Can I copy a cell (via Ctl-C) and then click on a

destination, whether a
single cell or multiple cells - then activate a macro

that will copy the
comments, the border and the color (from the source) to

the destination
cell(s) without disturbing the value that is already in

the destination
cell(s)?
Thks in advance...
