Consistent print settings across multiple sheets

[Guest]

How do I get my print settings to apply across all the sheets in my workbook?
The settings I'm interested in are margins, scaling, and centering. From
other posts I've read it appears that selecting all the sheets as a group
should cause the print settings to be the same in all the sheets but this
doesn't happen for me. When I change the settings in the first sheet none of
the setting for later sheets change to match the first sheet.

The only print settings you can't set on Grouped sheets is the print range and
rows to repeat at top and columns to repeat at left.

All other settings should be applied.

Try again.

After trying again in many different ways and getting the same result I have
solved my problem. I was changing the print settings from the Page Setup
window from within the Print Preview window, which only changes the page
showing in the preview. If I group the sheets and then change the settings
from the Page Setup window under the File menu, then the changes apply to all
the grouped pages. I just have to remember that if I go to the Preview from
there I have to get back out of that to the main Page Setup window for the
changes to aplly to all pages.

Thanks for the feedback.

I neglected to mention that part about being in PrintPreview.

Actually didn't even think about it because I rarely make changes while in that
mode.

Glad you got sorted out.
