Match Destination Formatting 2007

R

ritzput

Using Excel 2007 and found response below from 2005 but don't understand it.

Is there easier way in 2007? If so, can you explain in "laymen's" terms.
Don't know anything about macros.
thanks.

I cannot find a way to make Excel paste automatically using destination
formatting. A workaround is to use a macro to do the paste:

Sub PasteWithDestinationFormatting()
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="HTML", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:= _
False, NoHTMLFormatting:=True
End Sub

You could assign this to a shortcut key (Ctrl-Shift-v in this example) by
running this macro:

Sub SetPasteShortcut()
Application.OnKey "^V", "PasteWithDestinationFormatting"
End Sub
