With you workbook open use the command Tools | Macro | Visual Basic Editor
In the Edit use Insert | Module
Now copy and paste my module to the main window in the Editor
Is some lines get split into two in the email, carefully use
delete/backspace to fix. The longest line is
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$E$20"
and should appear as one line

Return to the worksheet; Use Tools | Macro | Macros and click on TryThis

best wishes (don't be afraid to ask for clarification)

I have a workbook with 12 worksheets in it. They are all basically the
same
so when I set the print area for one it could be the same for all 12
worksheets. Is there a way to do this all at once rather than 12 times?
