There is a trick, but it is not automatic. After you Copy and Paste the
data. go to Paste Special on the Edit Menu. Select Format. this will copy
the format from the 1st worksheet to the 2nd worksheet.

Sharon

Copy your data and Paste then before hitting ENTER, Paste Specialcheck "Columns
Widths" but unless you select entire rows the row heights cannot be copied.
