Paste event
 

Is there a way to capture the event of Pasting (or Dragging and
Dropping) something into a worksheet? I'd like to intercept such
events and make sure that only values are pasted, so the user doesn't
inadvertently muck up the formatting of the worksheet.

Or would it be better to write a macro to restore the original
formatting after the fact? (That would be long and tedius.)

I've found a BeforeDropOrPaste event, but I can't find any examples of
how to use it and it seems rather nontrivial.

Paste event
 

Thanks for the link, but Chip Pearson's site doesn't cover th
BeforeDropOrPaste event.

Or is there some other event that I should be capturing?

Paste event
 

that event is from the MSFORMS library, not the Excel library. Therefore it
has nothing to do with Excel events.
