Setting View and Zoom Globaly

[Bill Evans]

Is there a way to set every worksheet in a workbook to the same view and
zoom settings?

I have a workbook with 13 worksheets, one for each month of the year and one
for the annual totals. When I make a change to one month's zoom level to
see whatever columns it is I'm interested in, it's always troublesome to get
a second or third or whatever number of other months set to that same view
so I can easily compare them when I toggle back and forth.

Hi Bill

Sub Same_Zoom()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim ws As Worksheet, i As Integer, j As Integer
Dim k As Integer, ws1 As Worksheet
ActiveSheet.Select
Set ws1 = ActiveSheet
i = ActiveWindow.Zoom
j = ActiveWindow.ScrollRow
k = ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Select
ActiveWindow.Zoom = i
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = j
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = k
Next ws
ws1.Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

If you'd rather not use code, this may work for you.

You can group all the sheets. Click the tab of the first sheet, then click
the tab of the last sheet *while holding down Shift*. Adjust the zoom.
Rightclick the first sheet tab and "Ungroup" (NB: you don't *have* to
ungroup, but be aware that a change in a grouped sheet affects *all* grouped
sheets).

Another option might be to set up a Custom View (View menu).

Also, if you have a wheel-mouse you may be able to shortcut zoom-setting
using the wheel ; mine works on +/-15% per click.

HTH,
Andy
