As in "Paste Links" from the gnumeric "Paste Special" menu. If I enter
100 in sheet 2, format it as currency so it appears as $100, then copy
and paste it into sheet 1 (Sheet2!$A$1) I have to reformat it again in
sheet 1 as currency. I would expect the format of a 'link' like this
to be the same as the original cell.

Thanks,
Scott
