Method 3: Use a Macro

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. Modify the page setup attributes with a macro. The sample macros in this article demonstrate how to change page orientation in the active workbook and in an open workbook that is not the active workbook.

NOTE: These macros use the Orientation property of the PageSetup object. To modify other page setup attributes, use other PageSetup properties, such as LeftMargin, RightMargin, and so on.

Macros to Change Page Orientation:

This macro sets page orientation for all sheets in the active workbook to be the same as the first sheet in the workbook.

   Sub SetAttributes()
      For Each xWorksheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
         xWorksheet.PageSetup.Orientation = _
            Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.Orientation
      Next xWorksheet
   End Sub

   ' The workbook containing the following macro also includes a
   ' worksheet called Sheet1, which is the source of the PageSetup
   ' information that you want to use to format the worksheets in
   ' another workbook.

   ' Before you run this macro, make sure that the second workbook
   ' is active.

   Sub SetWorkbookAttributes()
      For Each xWorksheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
         xWorksheet.PageSetup.Orientation = _
            ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.Orientation
      Next xWorksheet
   End Sub
				

If you want to change additional page setup properties for worksheets, you can add additional lines within the For Each...Next statement in each Sub procedure. The lines should be identical to the example lines provided here, except that the property (Orientation) can be changed as appropriate (CenterFooter, PaperSize, and so on).
