2010 - Copying from one workbook to another (formatting and content)

I am trying to copy an Excel 2010 template from one workbook file to another. I want to copy the content, formatting and column widths. No matter what I try when pasting the contents I can't get it to copy over with all of the original content and formatting. The destination workbook is in differnt places in the workbooks I'm using, but it has the correct number of columns in every case. Included in the file are boxes that show a check mark when clicked and for some reason the boxes get cut off/disappear or move when copying over. Any thoughts on this? Perhaps I could use something other than checkboxes to get around this? Suggestions? Thanks for your help!
