Default Keeping Workbook Name Out of Sheet When Copying to Different Book

In xl2003 menus, you can change the link via:
Edit|Links|change links

Another way that I use:

Select the range to copy (in the source worksheet)
Convert the formulas to string
edit|replace
what: = (equal sign)
with: $$$$$= (a nice unused string)
replace all

Now I can copy|paste all these strings and they stay strings.

Then I fix both the source and destination ranges by doing a couple of
edit|replace's.

Select the range to fix
edit|replace
what: $$$$$=
with: =
replace all

I run a hockey draft that requires me to copy worksheets into a master sheet
but I need to know how to copy them without the formulas referencing the
workbook that they came from as the formula will only work if it stays
general. i.e. =IF('MasterI12'=1,"Correct", "") rather than
=IF('CopyofSheet4MasterI12'=1,"Correct","").

Right now I have to doa search and replace on every sheet I copy into the
master sheet and it is very painful :(

Thx.
