macro to copy all print settings to all sheets

[rbanks]

I have a workbook that has several hundred sheets, that all need exactly the same print settings.

Is there a way to set up one sheet with page breaks, margins, print compression, rows repeated at top, headers, footers, etc.. and copy those to each sheet in the workbook?

[papou]

Hello rbanks
AFAIK apart from looping through each worksheet?
Dim wsh As Worksheet
For Each wsh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
With wsh.PageSetup
..CenterFooter
..LeftMargin
..PrintArea
..PrintTitleRows
'so on...
End With
Next wsh

HTH
Cordially
Pascal

To do multiple pages

grouping (which is what you would use manually) is largely not supported in
VBA, however.

If you have one sheet set up, then KeepItCool has suggested this as a way to
format multiple sheets:

sheets(array("sheet2","sheet3","sheet4")).select
sheets("sheet3").activate
SendKeys "{enter}"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPageSetup).Show


keepITcool
-------------------------

So you would set up one sheet using the xl4 approach below, then use
KeepItCool's technique for the other sheets.

Other than that you would need to loop through the sheets. You are probably
already aware that pagesetup is extremely slow. So you should only set
those attributes that you need to do because each setting is an individual
call to the slow pagesetup object.

somewhat faster is to use the xl4 macro approach posted here by John Green:

PageSetup in VBA has always been a painfully slow process.
If you can't avoid having to set these parameters,
you can use the Excel 4 macro function, PAGE.SETUP
to carry out most of the PageSetup operations much
more quickly. The following two macros are almost
equivalent, and should give you the clues you need
to start using PAGE.SETUP. You can download a full
description of all the Excel 4 macro functions from
Microsoft's web site:


Sub PS()
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = "My Company"
.CenterHeader = ""
.RightHeader = "&D / &T"
.LeftFooter = "Highly Confidential and Proprietary"
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = "Finance"
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.54)
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.4)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.36)
.HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.22)
.FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.17)
.PrintHeadings = False
.PrintGridlines = False
.PrintComments = xlPrintNoComments
' .PrintQuality = 600 ' does not work with all the printers
.CenterHorizontally = True
.CenterVertically = True
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Draft = False
.PaperSize = xlPaperLetter
.FirstPageNumber = xlAutomatic
.Order = xlDownThenOver
.BlackAndWhite = False
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
End Sub


Sub PS4()


head = """&LMy Company&R&D / &T"""
foot = """&LHighly Confidential and Proprietary&RFinance"""
pLeft = 0.54
pRight = 0.3
Top = 0.4
bot = 0.36
head_margin = 0.22
foot_margin = 0.17
hdng = False
grid = False
notes = False
quality = ""
h_cntr = False
v_cntr = False
orient = 2
Draft = False
paper_size = 1
pg_num = """Auto"""
pg_order = 1
bw_cells = False
pscale = True


pSetUp = "PAGE.SETUP(" & head & "," & foot & "," & _
pLeft & "," & pRight & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & Top & "," & bot & "," & hdng & _
"," & grid & "," & h_cntr & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & v_cntr & "," & orient & "," _
& paper_size & "," & pscale & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & pg_num & "," & pg_order _
& "," & bw_cells & "," & quality & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & head_margin & "," & foot_margin _
& "," & notes & "," & Draft & ")"
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro pSetUp
End Sub

Hello I think this link will help - in it is a fantastic tool to copy print
settings also you will find many other great time savers.

I have used for many years and on many different machines and environments -
never had an issue.

the link - http://www.asap-utilities.com/ - it is free

Thanks,

worked like a charm.

One subtlety to John Green's PS procedure approach is that, if you're copying a page setup from an existing sheet to a different sheet, setting the Zoom, FitToPagesWide, and FitToPagesTall property values must actually be done in a specific sequence in order to successfully duplicate the state of the sheet being copied. Here's my version of it, derived from John's:
