	Dim rng1 As Range
	Dim rng2 As Range
	Dim InputRng As Range
	Dim OutRng As Range
	xTitleId     = "Paste To Visible"
	Set InputRng = Application.Selection
	Set InputRng = Application.InputBox("Copy Range :", xTitleId, InputRng.Address, Type: = 8)
	Set OutRng   = Application.InputBox("Paste Range:", xTitleId, Type: = 8)
	For Each rng1 In InputRng
		rng1.Copy
		For Each rng2 In OutRng
			If rng2.EntireRow.RowHeight > 0 Then
				rng2.PasteSpecial
				Set OutRng = rng2.Offset(1).Resize(OutRng.Rows.Count)
				Exit For
			End If
		Next
	Next
	Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
