Default copy/paste want to retain cell coloration but lose the conditional formatting source data

I have a workbook that uses conditional formatting (cell color) based on
values in named ranges. Now I need to copy one of the sheets out of the
workbook for a user. I can't provide the whole workbook (even with that data
hidden) because data in other parts of the workbook are confidential.

I tried copy/paste that sheet to a new workbook (thinking I could just not
update the links) but the colors in te cells of the destination workbook
only maintain their coloration while the old workbook is open (and therefore
the named ranges are available for evaluation). Once the other workbook
closes, the conditional formatting can no longer access those named ranges
and they lose their color.

Is there a way to copy/paste a worksheet while retaining the coloration,
similar to [paste special/values] for cell contents? Ultimately I need
something like [paste special/current color] which doesn't exist, but
hopefully that helps explain what I'm looking for.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Keith
