Apply page setup on multiple excel files
I have around 50 excel files and I want to change the page setup on all the files to have the same settings (Page margin, page orientation, column width, row width, etc).
What would be the best way to change the page setup on all files without manually change each file at a time?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If, for instance, all the files are in a single folder you can write a loop to loop through all the files in the folder, check their extension for a .xls or .xlsm, etc, open them, apply the page setup settings change, save and close them again.
The only tricky part of this is getting the file location strings right, but that is generally not so hard.
