    How to restrict copy paste in drop down list?

    I am using Excel 2007 and I have a problem in drop down list. My drop down list contains 15 kinds of ticket types. By default, one can't write anything additional in the given drop down list, but he can copy any cell or text and paste in the drop down list. What I actually want is that one can only be able to copy paste the given 15 ticket types and he can't add anything extra. A user has to fill many rows and it would not be easy for him to select manually from drop down for each row, so I want an user to be able to copy any ticket type from those 15 types and paste in the multiple rows simultaneously. But he should not be able to paste or add anything extra for this drop down column.

    In short, I want to allow copy paste but there should be a check in the drop down which does not allow to paste data other than the contents of list.

    I hope I am able to make my problem understand to everyone. Please help with the solution/macros.
