page setup

chookers · Apr 15th, 2002, 04:25 PM

I need to copy worksheets from various workbooks, and paste the selection into ONE workbook for someone tht only requires some of the information from all the books. I've noticed that everytime I paste a page into the new workbook, the page setup properties revert to default and I have to bloody reformat all the margins, view, etc. Is there a way around this???

I hope so! Thanks!

The workbook you're copying from and the one you're copying too should be open. Select the worksheet to copy, then go to Edit/Move or Copy Sheet/select the workbook to copy too in the "To Book" window and select the order, then click on Create a Copy.

Like Brian said, if you EDIT|MOVE_OR_COPY_SHEET from one Workbook to another, you will carry forth all the original formatting in the original Worksheet. If you copy and paste the data from the worksheet, you won't necessarily carry all the formatting details from the source sheet to the destination sheet!
