Copying Formats between workbooks and worksheets

[Guest]

I have spent a reasonable amount of time setting up a spreadsheet with a
particular format. I have changed column widths, row heights and added some
colours to certain cells. I want to copy the format between workseets and
workbooks but when I use the paste function te format deosn't copy.

A friend recommended 'paste special' but this doesn't seem to work either,
even though I choose to retain all the formatting.

Can someone help please.

So, copying the whole sheet isn't what you need?

Alternatively, have you tried using the format painter? While the article
describes it in Word, it works exactly the same in Excel:
