Copying Page Setups in Excel

By Laura Noble

 

Each Excel worksheet holds it own individual page setup. This includes margins, footers, page orientation, etc.

There may be occasions where you want multiple worksheets to have the exact Page Setup. Setting the page setup options for each spreadsheet can be time consuming plus you may miss entering an option. Solution: copy page setups.

  1. Go to the worksheet that contains the page setup options you want to copy to other sheets.
     

  2. Verify the setup is complete
     

  3. Press the Ctrl key and click the sheet tabs of the other sheets that require the same formatting.



    Selected sheets will be white in colour as sample above.
     

  4. Release Ctrl key
     

  5. From the File menu, select Page Setup
     

  6. If necessary, change settings
     

  7. Click OK to copy the page setup options to all selected sheets
     

  8. Right-mouse click on any selected sheet and select Ungroup Sheets. Do not omit this step. When sheets are grouped, what you do in one sheets happens in all sheets. For more information on grouping sheets.....


     

Caution: This tip will not work for selecting Print Area or Print Titles (rows/columns to repeat.
