save page setup settings to transfer from 1 worksheet to another

G

Guest

I am using excel 2003 and I am wanting to save the page setup settings (ie,
margins, heading, landscape orientation) to transfer to other pages within
the workbook.

Select your "master" worksheet.
control click on the other worksheets that should have the same page setup.
file|page setup|click ok

rightclick on one of the grouped worksheet tabs and select Ungroup Sheets.

Lots of the page layout stuff can be changed using this technique.

please clarify your instructions ...
1) which is the "master" worksheet
2) for "control click" do you mean CTRL+left/right click with mouse?
3) what's a "grouped worksheet?", when I right clicked on it the menu did
not give me the option Ungroup Sheets.

How can I permanently save the settings so they are not lost when I exit the
file?

The master sheet is the worksheet that has the correct settings/headers/footers.

Ctrl-click would mean control-primary click. For most people, that's the left
button--but it is changeable if you're kind of weird!

If you select more than one sheet, you've grouped them. Check the titlebar at
the top and you'll see [Group]. This means more than one sheet is selected.

Save your workbook and any changes you've done should be saved.

I want to save my page setup settings so they remain after I exit the file.
