Default Copy the formatting and content of a range


I wish to create a complex (pricelist) template which contains many
named ranges. When creating new individual price lists which contain
common ranges from the template, I need to select say range called
"Header" which is several columns wide and several rows high.
I need to find a way to copy & paste the formatting and content of a
range, preserving different row heights and column widths, together
with titles etc.
So far I haven't found a solution. Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
David

A standard copy/paste of course handles the values and formatting of the
range. An Edit, Paste Special, Column Widths will handle that aspect.
There is no built-in way to copy row heights, but they will size
automatically to accommodate larger fonts unless the target rows have been
preset to a specific height in advance. If that's not good enough you have
to consider a macro.

Jim,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I guess I needed telling. Macros were the
only way I could solve it. I guess you confirm that. I was hoping
against hope there was another way.
Thank you again.
Kind regards
David
