Is there any way to prevent users from coping data from protected sheet protected cells? only to allow them to copy information from unlocked cells?

one more question. How to prevent users to paste information outside of active workbook to another excel or program file?
 

Excel Facts

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Found solution via VBA
this workbook ->
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Application.CellDragAndDrop = True
End Sub




Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
'checks any changes made to the sheet and if cut function then stops
Select Case Application.CutCopyMode
Case 2
MsgBox "The 'Cut & Paste' functionality is not available in this file." & vbCr & vbCr & _
"Please use the 'Copy & Paste' funtionality only and manually clear any data that require moving", vbExclamation, "Function Unavailable"
Application.CutCopyMode = False 'clear clipboard and cancel cut
Case Else
End Select
End Sub

but I want to copy/paste unblocked cells info outside of file and it doesn't allow any.
