can't answer the "why" question but
if after pasting the data and with the paste range still highlighted you
choose edit / paste special and tick column widths and then ok you'll be
half way there.
(this works in excel 2000 and above)

When I copy data where the column width and the row heights have been
changed why doesn't it keep the column width and row heights?
