disable key combination
 

i have a tempalte, that works but has one flaw. users can use the ctrl c or
ctrl x to copy or cut from one cell to another. when this happens, the
formatting that is used to reference the cell formulaes is lost.

is it possible to disable the key combinaiton CTRL + C or CTRL + V on a
template?

thank you,

jat

Options:

1. Educate your users.

2. Write an empty macro, then assign the keyboard shortcut that is
troubling you to that macro. It should disable the default behaviour.
This will not stop users copying and pasting using the menus, and is
an inferior solution to option 1.

educate them and get a laugh out of it also.

thanx for reminding me that i can assign macros to CTRL + ...
