Default Copying Formats

I don't understand what skip row 6 means and yet the rowheights are duplicated
on 6-11 (6 rows, not 5).

Maybe you could give an example--something like:

1-5 "master" row height
6 skipped
7-11 based on 1-5
12 skipped
13-17 based on 1-5

Or whatever the rules are.

Thanks, Dave. One more question: Let's say I want the macro to look at the
first 5 rows, duplicated them (which your code apparently does already),
*BUT* I want it to skip a row before doing its thing? In other words, look
at rows 1 through 5, skip row 6, and duplicate onto rows 6 through 11? Can
you provide the extra whatever for that?

And, where do I send the virtual beer? :-)

Yep. Remember to use a button from the Forms toolbar and to save before
you try
it--or use a test worksheet.

I know just enough about macros to get in trouble, so I'll try this on an
experimental sheet first. Attach this to a button, maybe, and click to my
heart's content?

Just the rowheights?

You could use a macro:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim iRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
For iRow = 6 To .Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
.Rows(iRow).RowHeight = .Rows(((iRow - 1) Mod 5) +
1).RowHeight
Next iRow
End With
End Sub

I know how to use the paste special / format command for things like
fonts,
alignment, number formats, etc. But, I've got a sheet whose first 5
rows
have had their heights changed in various ways. I need to continue
this
formatting down the page. (Row 1 height =20, Row 2 height = 40, for
instance). In other words, each batch of 5 rows needs to have heights
like
the first 5 rows.

Any easy way to do this?
