Default Fixed and Relative Macro References

To all,
I apologize.

I see now, I was not clear in the explanation of my problem.

I want to copy data always from cells C5-G5

I want to paste data in a changing row, identified by selecting the
corresponding cell in column A (i.e. select A15, means paste to C15-G15)

Thanks for your quick replies.

I am trying to learn about what macros can and can't do.

Essentially, I want to copy data from a fixed location and paste it in a
relative location. It seems like this should be possible, but no matter what
I try, it fails.

Most recently, I have tried to use two separate macros.
Macro 1 selects and copies the fixed data.

Selection.Copy

Macro 2 should paste two spaces to the right of where the cursor is.

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

I have recorded these macros, but when I try to run Macro 2, I get an error
(either 1004 or 438 if that is relevant)

Is what I am trying to do possible?
