Default Worksheet Protection

Is there a way to protect a worksheet so that no one can change the Page
Setup setting such as margins, paper size, orientation, etc. Protection on
the Tools menu does not seem to accomplish this.
If it is not possible, I would appreciate this info. Will save a lot of
time wasted.

Thank you.

I don't think it's possible.

But you could reset the page setup each time the user prints anything.

If you record a macro when you do your specific settings, you could call that
macro in the workbook_beforeprint event. (This won't have any effect if the
user disables macros.)

You could enable protection for all cells and protect your worksheet
with a password.
but be aware with about 20 lines of VB(A) the password of a worksheet
can be cracked.
