Default How do I copy a formula from one worksheet to another?

Here's my scenario.
Microsoft Excel 2003 (11.8033.8028) SP2

I have 'Reporting Workbook Days 1-7'
I also have 'Reporting Workbook Days 8-14'.

The master template from which both were created, had a formula error (so
the rows are summing 'off' by one row).
Example:
On Row 69, the formula in cell D69 shows:
=SUM('Mon 10.12'!D68,'Tue 10.13'!D68,'Wed 10.14'!D68,'Thu 10.15'!D68,'Fri
10.16'!D68,Sun!D68,Sat!D68)

All of those !D68 's should be !D69 's. (And this general process repeats
across for *Columns* D through X.

So, I will go through and manually correct each one.
I will do this for all of the affected rows (12 rows, and 21 columns).
That will have manually corrected 'Reporting Workbook Days 1-7'.

However, when I try to copy these formulas over to 'Reporting Workbook Days
8-14', the formula (no matter what I choose) insists on referencing the
original workbook.
I don't want another copy of the data from Days 1-7, I want to instead
correct the erroneous formulas for Days 8-14.
(And the other 120 or so days that need to be fixed, one week at a time.)

I'd love to only do the manual work once, instead of many many times.

Anyone have a process for me?

Separately, is there a faster way other than manually updating 12x21 cells
for correcting the initial workbook (which I will then use as a template for
the others) ?


Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
