Cutting Data from cells changes Cell Formatting
 

I am developing an application using excel to fillin pre-printed abstracting
sheets. When users cut data from one portion of the worksheet and the paste
into another portion of the worksheet, the formatting of the cells that have
been cut from seems to revert back to defaults for font, alignment etc. Is
there any way to stop excel from changing the cell format on these cells
that have been "cut from"?
