copy and paste problem

Guest

I have created a work sheet which using the workbook change subroutine
changes the background colour of cells and edits the content if certain
letters or number are added.

This works ok until I copy and paste into this range and then the background
changes from the selected colour to pink for all the pasted cells

I need to replicate in the range certain blocks of data and dont want to
have to type it in each time is there any way I can keep the copied cells
format as I paste them into the automated range.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
On Error Resume Next
'Sets the range of cells for the code to work if a cell other than the range
is altered
'the sub is exited.

Set Target = Intersect(Target, Range("B21:h21", "b700:h700"))
If Target Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub

'If the cells in the range equal this criteria then they are changed
accordingly
'Weekly Rest Day
ElseIf Target = "RD" Then

With Target
.Interior.ColorIndex = 17
.Font.ColorIndex = 1
.Font.Bold = True

End With

'If the cells in the range equal this criteria then they are changed
accordingly
'Annual Leave
ElseIf Target = "AL" Then

With Target
.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
.Font.ColorIndex = 1

Here is the code I am currently using>>>>>

Here is a better way of writting your code. I converted the first few ifelse
sections to demonstrate how to use the Case Select

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
On Error Resume Next
'Sets the range of cells for the code to work if a cell other than the range
'is altered
'the sub is exited.

Set Target = Intersect(Target, Range("B21:h21", "b700:h700"))

If Target Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub

'If the cells in the range equal this criteria
'then they are changed accordingly
'Weekly Rest Day
With Target

Select Case Target

Case Target = "RD"

.Interior.ColorIndex = 17
.Font.ColorIndex = 1
.Font.Bold = True

Case Target = "AL"

'If the cells in the range equal this
'criteria then they are changed accordingly
'Annual Leave

.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
.Font.ColorIndex = 1
.Font.Bold = True


'If the cells in the range equal this criteria
' then they are changed accordingly
'Bank Holiday Leave
Case Target = "BL"

.Interior.ColorIndex = 24
.Font.ColorIndex = 1
.Font.Bold = True

'If the cells in the range equal this _
' criteria then they are changed accordingly
'Duty Elsewhere
Case Target = "DE"
.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
.Font.ColorIndex = 11
.Font.Bold = True
End Select
End With
End If

End Sub
