Default How do I copy a header and footer to multiple worksheets?

Hi, I tried this on my workbook and it worked great EXCEPT it changed the
page layout of all the worksheets. I had each worksheet set up the way I
needed it to be (portrait/letter;landscape/legal;etc). After following the
instructions to get a common header on each page, the worksheets print
layouts were all changed too. Is there a way to do this and ONLY affect the
header/footer? Thanks!

Select the sheet with the custom header and footer.

Right-click on the sheet tab and "select all sheets".

Go into FilePage SetupHeaders and Footers.

Click on OK without doing anything else.

All sheets now have that header/footer.

Right-click and "ungroup sheets" or select any sheet but the active sheet.

encountered this problem?
