Borrowing from Excel VBA How to detect if something was pasted in a Worksheet. The Workbook_SheetChange event will fire for any change event on the page, including a paste.

From inside this event, you can then check if the last change was a paste by looking at the most recent entry in the Undo List History:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
  Dim lastAction As String

  ' Get the last action performed by user
  lastAction = Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls("&Undo").List(1)

  ' Check if the last action was a paste
  If Left(lastAction, 5) = "Paste" Then

    ' Do Stuff Here

  End If
End Sub
