How do I copy the print settings, including header and footer fro.

How do you copy pint setting from one tab or spreadsheet to another including
the header and footer settings?

Thanks, Bruce

Right-click on first sheet tab and "select all sheets".

Do your page setup on active sheet and it will be done to all sheets.

If first sheet already has the settings you want, just do the File>Page Setup
and OK.

Settings will be transferred to other sheets.

Note: you cannot set print range and rows to repeat at top.

To do that requires VBA code.

DO NOT FORGET to ungroup the sheets when Page Setup is complete.

Set up one of your sheets with all the settings that you wish.

Then, hold <Ctrl>, and click on the tabs of the other sheets that you wish
to have the same settings.

What you've done is "Group" the sheets, and you will see this (Group) in the
title bar.
The tabs will be white, with the "master" sheet in bold.

Now, just
<File> <PageSetUp> <OK>
And you're done.

Make sure that the already formatted (master) sheet is in bold (in focus),
since this procedure will overwrite the settings of the other sheets, and if
you accidentally chose a non-formatted sheet as the focus sheet, it would
overwrite (erase) the settings that you set-up on your main (master) sheet.

And finally, make sure you "Ungroup" when you're finished by either right
clicking in a tab and click on "ungroup", or click in one of the tabs of an
unselected sheet.

Gord,
You made a passing reference to a situation I am experiencing. I believe
that in past I could group tabs and then specify that a 'standard' title row
or rows be repeated on every page bring printed.
Now for some reason, while I can see the dialogue box in the 'sheet' tab of
the 'setup' dialogue, Excel won't let me use it.
It appears that my only option is to do my many tabs 'one at a time', but
even on a one-by-one basis the dialogue box no longer appears to work. It is
as if by setting some common print features for a group of tabs I have locked
myself out of the header row functionality of Excel.
Your message implies that Visual Basic coding is one way out of this jam.
Am I correct in inferring this to be so? Also, if yes, where would you
suggest I go to look for a simple 'how to' for the situation at hand?
Thank you.
Regards,
Guus S.

Not in any version of Excel I have used from 5.0 through 2003........

Macro from Dave Peterson..........

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
wks.PageSetup.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$11"
' adjust range to suit
Next wks
End Sub

First, select the sheets that you want (click on the first tab and ctrl/shift
click on subsequent), then run that macro.

Then remember to ungroup those selected sheets.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
