Scott,
Seems it can one of the XlInsertFormatOrigin enum values:
Const xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove = 0
Const xlFormatFromRightOrBelow = 1

There's a slightly better description here than in the Help:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...(VS. 80).aspx
"CopyOrigin
One of the XlInsertFormatOrigin values that specifies where to obtain the
format to apply to the new cells."

Maybe that helps ??

Excel programing help shows CopyOrigin as a parameter for insert method
but I
can't find out what it is or how it works.
