When pasting cells in a destination area you are required to select the entire destination area before you click the Paste button?

Not necessarily. You can just select the cell which will be in the top left hand corner of the area and the rest of the data will go in place. If you select an individual cell as the source area, the destination area can be larger and the source will be pasted into the entire destination area. If you do select a range it will paste in the source into the area, spreading out past it if it is larger, or just using the required area if the destination area.
