I am creating a spreadsheet in Excel 2003 for my users and have following two requirements.

1) Allow users to have Paste Values only and disable all other Paste options;
2) Force users to enable macros in a workbook

I found following two VBA codes on internet that are working perfectly well and solving both of my issues but I do not know how to combine them into a single VBA code that has to go into ThisWorkbook. As these two are very common requirements for anyone that is developing forms for bunch of users and has to protect their formatting and data validation being destroyed by user inputting the data, I believe that there are lots of people that might benefit from this solution. I would appreciate a help with this issue.

1) Allow users to have Paste Values only and disable all other Paste options;
