One task I have at work is to populate a spreadsheet with information from
two company databases (not Access), one web-based. This requires a great
deal of copy/paste function, but the data pasted from the outside sources is
not formatted correctly for the spreadsheet. Having to open the clipboard
and click "match destination formatting" for each pasted field adds a lot of
time to this task. I have not found a way to set the "match destination
formatting" function as the default. FYI, I can't just wait until finished
pasting and reformat all the fields, because certain lines of data are color
highlighted for clarity.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default paste function in
Excel to "match destination formatting"? I can't believe that the developers
as MS have not thought of this need.

Thanks!
