I often make nice borders, with fonts and shading.    And i have data
inside this chart.    Then sure enough, I end up needing to change all
kind of data, and move the data to different columns and rows.   when
a move a cell it it also move the border and any other formating.   So
now I have a hole in my border, which is time consuming to fix.    Any
way to freeze the border and formating, so you can move the cells
around but not the formating of the cells?  I found a way around this
problem, but it is not perfect (copy and paste format, from a template
I made).     Any ideas? thanks.

You could use the paste special - Values option. That way the original
formatting is retained.

yes, that is what I am doing as a work around, but wanted to know if
there is a way of actually freezing the format instead. tx
