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:

.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)
