Copying format changes from one sheet to another

[MrReeLady]

I have created a log with specific formats including locking the the first
row so that it is always visible, I have a header and footer, etc...

How do I copy everything to another sheet so I don't have to go and reset
all these changes including page set-up like landscape...

Thanks.

Instead of coying everything from Current Spreadsheet to New Spreadsheet,
why not save Current Spreadsheet as New Spreadsheet using Save As...
and then remove any and all data not needed.

Copy the entire sheet by right clicking on the sheet tab and selecting Move
or Copy...

A quicker way to copy an entire sheet is to hold down the Ctrl key and then
drag the sheet to a new spot.

If your changes will be standard for all new sheets you could create a sheet
template to insert as Insert>Worksheet.

To create a workbook and a woksheet template

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish.

File>Save As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your
workbook "BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default workbook for File>New or the Toolbar button File>New or
CTRL + n

WARNING................Do not use File>New...Blank Workbook or you will get the
Excel default workbook.

NOTE: Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default Insert>Sheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).
