Setting print areas

I have a workbook with 12 worksheets (12 months) and need to have about 10
specific print areas within a worksheet that are the same for the whole
workbook. Is there a way of defining it without creating areas one worksheet
at the time? Can one standard area be defined in one worksheet and be applied
automatically in the whole workbook?
 
To learn:
record a macro while setting one worksheet. Now encompass into a loop macro
for each ws in worksheets
ws. blah
next ws
 
Yes:

Press the Shift key, and then click on each sheet tab to group all the sheet
in to one.

Then follow these procedure to define a custom view for printing:

1. On the View menu, click Custom Views.
2. In the Views box, click the name of the view (view: A set of display and
print settings that you can name and apply to a workbook. You can create more
than one view of the same workbook without saving separate copies of the
workbook.) you want to print.
3. Click Show.
4. Click Print .

Note Microsoft Excel saves previously defined print areas (print area: One
or more ranges of cells that you designate to print when you don't want to
print the entire worksheet. If a worksheet includes a print area, only the
print area is printed.) for each sheet in the workbook with your view. If a
sheet has no defined print areas, Microsoft Excel prints the entire worksheet.

Have you tested your method?

Custom Views is not available for grouped sheets.
