Excel Copy tab to tab losing format (solved) check zoom level
Checking zoom level does not work either. I am having the same issue. . . I copy tabs from one workbook into another, and the formatting changes. . .

From here, I select the whole range of data and paste values (just to get rid of all formulas). I have tried 3 different ways to transfer it to the file which my manager will receive: Right-click the tab and copy Right-click the tab and move View the two worksheets side-by-side, click and drag the tab from mine to his. In all 3 situations, the formatting changes. By comparing column widths and row heights, I see that column A comes over fine, but column B switches from 8.43 (64 pixels) to 8.38 (72 pixels). This distorts the printing and where the page breaks end up. How can I copy the sheet exactly as I have it in my file? TIA, -- Brad E.

I should have mentioned that I copied the top ROW from the source sheet and pasted column widths in the destination sheet, but there were no further changes in the destination. As I mentioned in the first post, column B in my source has width of 8.43 (64 pixels) and in the destination is 8.38 (72 pixels). It appears that the destination is getting as close to the source as possible (using the 8.xx number), but some kind of background (or default) formatting isn't allowing the destination to be an exact duplicate. -- Brad E. Many thanks to the people answering questions. I wouldn''t even be attempting some of the coding I have done without reading these posts.

First Copy and paste special = ALL to your destination file then in the destination another copy and paste special = values. In this sequence you copy formats and then get rid of formulas. -- If this posting was helpful, please click on the Yes button. Regards, Michael Arch.

I was getting sooo frustrated. Finally, I copied and used paste special, selecting "All using Source Theme" (I am in Excel 2007). It finally worked. Lesson for the day: You can only get a true copy if you are using the same Theme settings in Excel 2007. Even prior to this, the only thing I didn't like about Excel 2007 was the themes. Now I dislike it more. Thanks for the attempts to help, Susan and Michael. -- Brad E.

The one we were trying to copy was set to 70% and paste into a worksheet that defaulted to 100% which never matched until we adjusted back to 70. |
