The default behaviour when pasting a formula is to modify it, for example:

Type into cell A1:
10
Copy(Ctrl+c) cell A1.

Select cells B1:B10 then Paste(Ctrl+v).
^^ This works as expected(pasting values)

Type into C1:
=A1/2
press Enter. Copy(Ctrl+c) cell C1.

Select cells C2:C10 then Paste(Ctrl+v). It can be seen that the formula that 
has been pasted has been 
modified. Cell C2 has the formula =A2/2 instead of =A1/2 and this behaviour is 
repeated all the way 
down to cell C10 which has the formula =A10/2 instead of =A1/2.

My enhacement suggestion is to add a tickable checkbox in "Paste Special" which 
would say "Preserve 
Formula". By default it would be unticked. Its behaviour would be to paste the 
formula untouched i.e. in 
cells C2:C10 the formula that would be pasted into them would be =A1/2.
