Hi,

Is it possible to copy row/column size, hidden columns/rows, print area,
margins, header/footers from one tab to another tab and also to other tabs in
other workbooks with a simple macro? I'm currently recorded the adjustments
and applying it to each tab.

Thanks,
Carmen

yes, you can read and write most of these properties.

worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = _
worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth

You can get the names of the properties by turning on the macro recorder and
manually changing some of them, then turn off the macro recorder and look at
the recorded code.

Hi Carmen,

Do I assume that you are trying to make an exact duplicate of the worksheet?
If so, right click on the tab name and select Move or Copy and check the box
bottom left to copy and if to another workbook click on the drop down arrow
beside the workbook name and select the required workbook or new workbook. If
you are trying to copy into an existing workbook then the existing workbook
needs to be open.

However, if you are trying to copy to an existing worksheet then it does not
work but if copying the entire worksheet, simply delete the existing one and
rename the new one.

Hi OssieMac,

I currently have a file with 20+tabs, some probably with more columns hidden
than the others. I need to create a macro to save each one of them in
individual files, and at the same time I need to set up their print area,
size particular cells, hide certain rows, etc. Since this macro will be used
with many similar scenarios (saving tabs to individual files), I want to make
it as generic as possible. So I would like user to identify a tab with the
desired format, hidden columns/rows, print setup... and then be able to copy
the properties to all other tabs as they are being copied.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Carmen

sh1.cells.copy
Activesheet.Cells.pasteSpecial xlFormats

This won't work for print settings. Again, you can record a macro to see
how to get the properties of the pagesetup object.
