As to the copying problem, when you do a Copy, Excel is in "code mode".
However a great many actions take Excel out of copy mode, including
apparently some of the ones in your macro. So you should do these actions
before you do the actual copy. Ideally the copy should be followed
immediately by a paste, however you should be able to switch to another
workbook/sheet active before you paste without exiting copy mode.
