I´m trying to save a custom made header & footer because I´m useing it in
multiple worksheets and it is repeating the whole time.

Can somebody tell me, how I could save my header & footer?

It contains a picture and adress lines.
 
Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish, including your footer. 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

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).

Thanks for that, but is there any possibility to insert custom made headers &
footers to sheets that are allready been filled out?
 
You would have to re-create the custom header/footer on a workbook basis.

Open an existing workbook.

Select all sheets by right-clicking on a sheet tab and "select all sheets"

Create your footer/header on the active sheet and it will be done to all sheets.

DO NOT FORGET to ungroup the sheets when done.

Alternative.....have a macro in your Personal.xls or an add-in and run that
macro on each existing workbook.

Sub Path_All_Sheets()
Set wkbktodo = ActiveWorkbook
For Each ws In wkbktodo.Worksheets
ws.PageSetup.RightFooter = ActiveWorkbook.FullName & " " & Chr(13) _
& Application.UserName & " " & Date
Next
End Sub

Adapt the macro to your needs.
