Hello Adrian,

I agree with Jim Rech, and apart from his macro, I find another one at:
http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/disable-cut-copy.htm
It calls Application.CellDragAndDrop = False and Application.CutCopyMode =
False to disable cut/copy, however, it doesn't disable the Paste behavior.
To disable Paste, I'd suggest Jim's routine:

Sub AllowPastes(EnableBool As Boolean)
Dim oCtls As CommandBarControls, oCtl As CommandBarControl
Set oCtls = CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=22) ''Paste
If Not oCtls Is Nothing Then
For Each oCtl In oCtls
oCtl.Enabled = EnableBool
Next
End If
Set oCtls = CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=522)
If Not oCtls Is Nothing Then
For Each oCtl In oCtls
''Disable Options so D&D cannot be restored
oCtl.Enabled = EnableBool
Next
End If
With Application
.CellDragAndDrop = EnableBool
If EnableBool Then
.OnKey "^v"
.OnKey "+{Del}"
Else
.OnKey "^v", ""
.OnKey "+{Del}", ""
End If
End With
End Sub

The complete command bar control ID list can be found at

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for non-urgent issues
where an initial response from the community or a Microsoft Support
Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable. Please note that each follow
up response may take approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best
handled working with a dedicated Microsoft Support Engineer by contacting
