Default Can you prevent Copy-Paste from changing formatting without macros

€¦specifically, in a worksheet that is protected, with only "select unlocked
cells" granted to users.

The situation: the users are not granted €śformat cells€ť, which has been
confirmed by attempting to manually apply bold, italic, or border changes.
The sheet is created from an Excel template that has all of the intended
formatting and protection in place.

Observed behavior: if a user pastes into an unlocked cell, the formatting of
the cell is overwritten with the formatting of the source. This has been
observed on several versions of Excel, including XP, 2003, and 2007.

The current environment requires that there be no macros, so are we stuck
with this quirky paste behavior unless/until macros are allowed?
