Default Inhibit Cut (allow Copy)

I'm looking for a way to prevent the user from using CUT (including the
equivalent northwest-arrow drag functionality) but not prevent copy/paste or
autofill. Users are dragging cells around and destroying associated formulas:
Absolute references don't sem to help this.
For instance, I have a formula =IF(Z15=0,0,A15/Z15). If the user drags a CUT
cell over A15, I get =IF(Z15=0,0,#REF!/Z15). Copying doesn't hurt at all. The
cell with this formula resides in, say, A147. I can make all the references
absolute - it doesn't help. How can I keep this from happening?
