Can I apply page settings to all sheets in Excel?
 

I would like to apply Page Setup settings (margins, header/footer, etc.) to
all sheets of an existing Excel file without going into each sheet. I know I
can copy a sheet and the settings will be copied with it, but this is an
existing file.

Hi

Group the sheets you want to change. Change one of them and they all follow
suite!!
To group, click the first tab and then Shift-click the last tab.

I don't know about pasting the settings, but you can highlight multiple
worksheet tabs and then go to Page Setup, and the options you select will
affect all of the highlighted sheets.

Select one sheet then right-click and "Select all sheets"

Do your page setrup on the active sheet and will done to all.

Note: you cannot set a print range or rows/columns to repeat using this method.

As an extra piece of advice, once you have finished, be sure to ungroup your
sheets again. You can do a lot of damage in a short time if you don't :)
