Inserts the contents of the Clipboard. Unlike with the Paste method, with PasteSpecial you can control the format of the pasted information and (optionally) establish a link to the source file (for example, a Microsoft Excel worksheet).
Note If you don't want to replace the contents of the specified range or selection, use the Collapse method before you use this method. When you use this method, the range or selection doesn't expand to include the contents of the Clipboard.
