Copy the master worksheet and on new spread sheet go to edit -paste special

I very often use worksheets to create a master workbook - it is tedious to
re-create the formating of the master worksheet to each subsequent
worksheet
- In one column it may be formated with at date, the next with general
infromation, the next with numbers, various calcuations, each column
having
its own specific widths, etc. along with outlining of various cells.
Is there a way I can have Excel copy the formating of a worksheet to other
worksheets

Thanks,
David
