    Copy/paste of data overwrites borders

    Hi, I have defined left border for cells in the column B. However, when I paste data over two columns (B, C), the border is overwritten. Any way to prevent this from hapenning?

    Not looking for work around such as creating micro column on the right to B column or special pasting of values.

    Use Paste Special | Values or Paste Special | Formulas, depending on the content of the cell, rather than just Paste.
