Question : Excel Breaking Links

Hi, I'm trying to copy a Excel sheet A content to another workbook, but only values without links or formulas. "Paste special" option doesn't work here because when copied my template get all messy besause of wrong formating of cells. Copying to another workbook and then breaking the links works fine but I'm in situation where sheet A is pass protected and once copied I can't break the links. So my question would be: is there a way to copy a pass protected sheet to another workbook without links to source or is there a way to make such sheet pass protection who would allow that once copied can remove links to source. Thanks. Hope I didn't complicated to much.

Answer : Excel Breaking Links

Apparently there were some hidden columns which are no longer hidden when I perform the copy. I did have to do 3 paste specials - (This option did not bring over the combo boxes)
 - Values and Number Formats
 - Column Widths
 - Formats

Then I did a Paste Special - All - which brought over the combo boxes. Still no links in the file to be broken.

Let me know what you think.
