My macro rearranges my conditional formatting

(XL2007, Vista) My code creates a new workbook from a template (XLTM), copies an exisiting sheet in the new workbook, copies a range from another workbook, and then pastes this into the new worksheet.

Since my template already has all my formulas and conditional formatting, I'm using the following to paste in the data:
Code:
    wks1.Range("A6:Q3000").Copy
    wks2.Range("A6:Q3000").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
    wks2.Range("A6:Q3000").PasteSpecial xlPasteFormulasAndNumberFormats

When I test the new worksheet, however, I find that some CF rules don't work. When I look at the CF manager, I find the rules have rearranged themselves. If I take the two misbehaving rules and manually move them back up wherre they're supposed to be, all is good.

Can someone tell me either:
-- how to prevent this from happening?
or
-- how to identify my CF rules and rearrange them after I'm done copying?

Thanks!!
Ed

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
