i need to re-arrange the tabs so that it saves the PDF in that order....is there way to do this without manually moving the worksheets?

i tried re-arranging the sheet names in the vba array code, but that didnt seem to do the trickl

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
