How come when I select all the sheets in a workbook and format them. Only the sheet 1 of the sheets is formatted. How can I get all the sheets I select to be formatted?

Thanks

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
What formatting are you trying to do and how are you doing it? Just tried applying a font type and size change to two selected sheets and that worked...

are you selecting all your sheets first, then selecting all cells, then formatting? what's your pecking order here? seems to work for me ok.

I am trying to change the margins, fit to 1 page and center horizontal and vertical.

in print preview mode, go to setup..., on the page tab under scaling click fit to 1 page wide x 1 page tall, then click the margins tab and under center on page, check horizontally and vertically.

Worked just fine for me.

How are you selecting all of your sheets? I use CTRL+SHIFT on each worksheet tab.

Works fine for me - can you post your sheet and whatever page setup options you're trying to set?

I right mouse click and select all the sheets and then format and nothing. It only formats the 1st sheet not the others. What could be wrong. I also tried ctrl-shift to select the sheets and nothing.

Click on your first sheet, press and hold the SHIFT key then click on your last sheet
