how do you set or reset the print range for several sheets at a time?
how do you set or reset the print range for several sheets at a time?
Assuming you want the same print range on each sheet, hold down the CTRL key and click on each sheet's tab that you want to format. This will 'select' each sheet clicked. (If sheets are consecutive, hold the shift key and click the first and the last tab, all in between will be selected). Now, set your print range on the visible sheet, and all selected sheets will be altered to match this range.

Manually I don't think it's possible to set more than one sheet's print area
at a time. Of course a macro can make this a lot quicker.

Unfortunately setting the print area on grouped sheets is not an option
without using VBA.
Code from Bob Flanagan for setting same print area on grouped sheets.
NOTE: Set the print area on ActiveSheet then Group the sheets and run the
macro.
Note: after print area is set you will most likely have to re-group to set
margins.
Sub Set_Print_Area_On_All_Selected_Sheets()
Dim tempS As String, oSheets As Object
Dim curSheet As Worksheet, oSheet As Worksheet
Dim iResponse
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
iResponse = MsgBox(prompt:= _
"Select OK to set the print area on all " & _
"selected sheets the same as the print " & _
"area on this sheet. If you have not selected " & _
"any sheets, then all worksheets will be set.", _
Buttons:=vbOKCancel)
If iResponse = vbCancel Then End
'store info
tempS = ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea
'set an object variable to refer to the sheets to be set
If ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Count = 1 Then
'if no sheets selected, select all worksheets
Set oSheets = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Else
'set variable to select sheets
Set oSheets = ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
End If
'store the current sheet and then rotate through each
'sheet and set the print area
Set curSheet = ActiveSheet
For Each oSheet In oSheets
If oSheet.Type = xlWorksheet Then
'set print area only if a worksheet
oSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = tempS
End If
Next
'return to the original worksheet
curSheet.Select
MsgBox "All print areas on the selected sheets have " & _
"been set to the same as this sheet."
End Sub
