Consistent Formatting in Each Worksheet

[nicolebelle]

Hello--i have a multi-tabbed workbook and am continually batteling with Excel to have consistent formatting i.e. same size rows etc.. how do i do this? i have been doing paste special: formats, however it doesn't always work. also is there a way to "lock" a page in some fashion so that all worksheets have the same margins and spacing? Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

Hold down the SHIFT key, click on the tabs for the sheets to include (this
is 'grouping')
Make the format changes needed
Right click a worksheet tab and select Ungroup
best wishes

Great! thanks that really helped, however now i am running into the problem that as i insert pages the page setup from my existing worksheets is not copied to the newly inserted page--is this fixable or do i just have to manually do it? Thanks again--

You can right-click on a tab of an existing worksheet, select Move or Copy,
click the Create Copy check box and select the location of where you want the
copy inserted from the list of tab names above the check box.
