Excell transfer

You set up a worksheet not realizing that later you’ll need to add another worksheet in the workbook that needs all the same settings.

If you’re an Excel user then I’m sure that you’ve run into the same problem.

Here is a little trick that could turn into a major time-saver for anyone who finds themselves in this situation frequently.

We can transfer the settings from one worksheet to another with just a few clicks

Select the tab of the worksheet that has the desired page setup. (ALWAYS select the sheet with the correct settings – the source – first!)

Next select the tab(s) of any worksheet to which we want to transfer the settings – the target sheets.

Open the Page Setup dialog box.

- For older versions of Excel it is in the File menu.

- For Excel 2007 you can use the dialog launcher for the Page Setup section of the Page Layout tab of the Ribbon.

Regardless of your version, once the Page Setup dialog box is open simply click OK.

The first sheet selected is the source for the Page Setup settings found when you open the dialog box. Then by clicking OK you apply those settings to all the sheets (targets) that have their tabs selected.
