Hi,

I am trying to write a bit of code that changes the zoom property of a
whole work book. Rather than use an array [as there are 40+ worksheets]
I want to use 'For Each' statement like

Sub ChangeZoom55()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Sh As Worksheet

For Each Sh In Worksheets
Sh.Zoom = 55
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Sub Function

There is the added frustration of hidden worksheets, so I am not sure
if I have to run a separate bit of code to un hide the hidden sheets,
if I do have to do this is there a way in which I can hide all the
sheets which were originally hidden but not the sheets that were
visible to start with.

Any help much appreciated. Scott

Hi Scott,

though, with Excel, I am on strange territory,
I think, it is the same as with Word-documents.
Worksheets as well as Word-documents don't have
a zoom property at all. Zoom is a property of a window.

Dim oWnd As Window
Set oWnd = ActiveWindow
oWnd.Zoom = 55

So if there is no window, as with a hidden worksheet,
it might be impossible to set a zoom.

The Excel-experts around will correct me, if I am wrong.

Hi Scott,

Helmut's right.

I tried...

Public Sub zoomAll()
Dim Sht As Worksheet
For Each Sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Sht.Activate
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 50
Next Sht
End Sub

which worked.

changed the scaling to like 10% ?

Hi,

I just took one of my workbooks, checked each sheets appearance in
Print Preview, manually zoomed each sheet to 50%, checked Print Preview
appearances again, and there was no difference.
Then I rezoomed back to 100%, hid one of the sheets, ran the ZoomAll
macro, checked Print Preview appearances, and again there was no
change.

So I don't know what has caused your Print Previews to change.
