what exactly did you copy when you did the copy -paste link?
I cannot get this to work at all.
I really need to link 2 workbooks without all the 00000.

That got all the formatting and heights/widths over, but I still need a
"link" so any changes made to the master are made to this sheet too. I found
that if after I did the move/copy with the sheet tab I then did a copy -
paste link then the data successfully became linked and didn't give me the
00000 in the blank cells.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I never could have figured
this out.

Right click the sheet tab of the sheet you want to copy, select "move or
copy", then select create a copy. It won't be a link but an exact duplicate,
formats and all

I'm trying to link to another sheet in the same workbook. The sheet is the
master cost sheet with prices. I want to create a linked copy of the same
sheet on another sheet so I can delete the prices. When I try paste link,
the
link comes in with 00000 in all the blank cells of the master cost sheet.
It
also comes in unformatted and without the same row heights or column
widths.
I found I can paste special and paste column widths (but not row heights!)
or
I can paste the entire page and delete all the contents to get the lines
and
row/column info before pasting the link. Is there an easier way to make an
exact copy of the linked sheet?
