returning a sheet to blank orginal status?
 

how do I return a sheet to it's orginal blank status without having to
delete it and insert a new one with the same name.

I'm trying to copy and paste some information in a sheet from another
workbook but it's giving me the merged cell error saying "the operation
requires the merged cells to be identically sized" and I can't paste,
can't paste special values either. I pasted onto a new blank worksheet
in a new workbook and it pastes fine. Even though I did a "clear, all"
of the sheet I'm pasting to and it still gives me that error, seems
like clear all doesn't remove the merged cell format. I can't delete
this sheet because it links to a lot of other sheets so I have to paste
on this sheet.

I want to know how to return this sheet to a blank status like a brand
new sheet. Thanks.

Don't clear all, Mile. Instead, "delete" the rows/columns.

That will delete all my links to the other sheets. I need a "clear all"
solution that will not elimanate my links to other sheets. I just want
it to a new sheet status so I can paste without getting either the "too
many different cell formats" error or the "the operation requires the
merged cells to be identically sized" error.
