Default Yet another copy/paste macro question

Try this
Sub copy()
Rows("1:1").EntireRow.copy _
Destination:=ActiveCell
End Sub

Active cell has to be in Col A for this to work...

My apologies in advance if this is redundant. Didn't find what I was looking
for via search.

I have a client info spreadsheet that i'm looking to automate a bit more. I
put in a button and tied it to a macro that copies the line the cursor is on,
inserts a row below where the cursor is, and erases all client data (save
for the cells with formulas in them) to create a blank row with formulas for
a new client. This is tedious and doesn't work too well when creating client
data in a new section of the spreadsheet (where this is no source row to copy
from). Here's what I have:

ows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
ActiveCell.Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -15).Range("A1").Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 10
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 9
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 8

What I would like.. is to eliminate all those rose of "select, clear
contents" and just have it copy the row from "1:1:" where I have a blank
client template.


so.. it would work like this, the cursor is set to the row where the new
line will be put in (the line will be added to the row BELOW where the cursor
is set), it copies row 1:1, and pastes it into the newly created blank row.

Thanks in advance!
