how do you set or reset the print range for several sheets at a time?

how do you set or reset the print range for several sheets at a time?

try something like this

For Each s In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
s.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$E$10"
Next s


/Fredrik

grouping is largely not supported in VBA, however.


If you have one sheet set up, then KeepItCool has suggested this as a way to
format multiple sheets:


sheets(array("sheet2","sheet3","sheet4")).select
sheets("sheet3").activate
SendKeys "{enter}"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPageSetup).Show


keepITcool


-------------------------
Other than that you would need to loop through the sheets. You are probably
already aware that pagesetup is extremely slow. So you should only set
those attributes that you need to do because each setting is an individual
call to the slow pagesetup object.

somewhat faster is to use the xl4 macro approach posted here by John Green:

PageSetup in VBA has always been a painfully slow process.
If you can't avoid having to set these parameters,
you can use the Excel 4 macro function, PAGE.SETUP
to carry out most of the PageSetup operations much
more quickly. The following two macros are almost
equivalent, and should give you the clues you need
to start using PAGE.SETUP. You can download a full
description of all the Excel 4 macro functions from
Microsoft's web site:


Sub PS()
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = "My Company"
.CenterHeader = ""
.RightHeader = "&D / &T"
.LeftFooter = "Highly Confidential and Proprietary"
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = "Finance"
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.54)
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.4)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.36)
.HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.22)
.FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.17)
.PrintHeadings = False
.PrintGridlines = False
.PrintComments = xlPrintNoComments
' .PrintQuality = 600 ' does not work with all the printers
.CenterHorizontally = True
.CenterVertically = True
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.Draft = False
.PaperSize = xlPaperLetter
.FirstPageNumber = xlAutomatic
.Order = xlDownThenOver
.BlackAndWhite = False
.Zoom = False
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With
End Sub


Sub PS4()


head = """&LMy Company&R&D / &T"""
foot = """&LHighly Confidential and Proprietary&RFinance"""
pLeft = 0.54
pRight = 0.3
Top = 0.4
bot = 0.36
head_margin = 0.22
foot_margin = 0.17
hdng = False
grid = False
notes = False
quality = ""
h_cntr = False
v_cntr = False
orient = 2
Draft = False
paper_size = 1
pg_num = """Auto"""
pg_order = 1
bw_cells = False
pscale = True

pSetUp = "PAGE.SETUP(" & head & "," & foot & "," & _
pLeft & "," & pRight & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & Top & "," & bot & "," & hdng & _
"," & grid & "," & h_cntr & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & v_cntr & "," & orient & "," _
& paper_size & "," & pscale & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & pg_num & "," & pg_order _
& "," & bw_cells & "," & quality & ","
pSetUp = pSetUp & head_margin & "," & foot_margin _
& "," & notes & "," & Draft & ")"
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro pSetUp
End Sub
