Default how do I keep rows' formats when copying a formula?

Hi again.

I have an existing worksheet and some rows are red font, others black, some
rows are highlighted, others not. All on purpose. Now I want to add a formula
to a column and drag it down to all the rows, but my formatting then goes
cattywampus. How do I fill the formula down all the rows without messing up
the formatting of those rows?

(Right now I go back manually and fix them, but every time I change the
worksheet, this gets ridiculous).

Hi,
are your formats defined by Conditional formatting?

No, they were highlighted, for example, as orders came in. It is a very live
spreadsheet. Using only conditionally would help here, wouldn't it?
