#1.
You can create a template file that has the page layouts you like.
Start a new workbook. Do all the pagesetups you like (and anything else you
like) for each worksheet in that workbook.
Save it as a template file named book.xlt in your XLStart folder.
Each time you click on the new icon, that new workbook will inherit all the
settings from that template file.
If you want new worksheets added to existing workbooks to have these same
settings, set up another workbook template file (one sheet only???) and name it
sheet.xlt. Save it in the same XLStart folder.
#3. You can use tools|options|view tab|check/uncheck Formulas
ctrl-` (control-backquote -- it's the key to the left of 1/! on my USA
keyboard is the shortcut key for this.
#4. You can use a macro to cycle through each cell in the used area and copy
the value/address/formulas to a new worksheet. This is pretty unusual. Are you
sure you really need it.
Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim ActWks As Worksheet
Dim NewWks As Worksheet
Dim oRow As Long
Dim oCol As Long
Dim myCell As Range
Set ActWks = ActiveSheet
Set NewWks = Workbooks.Add(1).Worksheets(1)
oRow = 1
oCol = 1
With ActWks
For Each myCell In .UsedRange.Cells
If IsEmpty(myCell) Then
'skip it
Else
With NewWks.Cells(oRow, "A")
.Value = myCell.Address(0, 0)
.Offset(0, 1).Value = "'" & myCell.Formula
.Offset(0, 2).Value = "'" & myCell.Text
End With
If oRow = .Rows.Count Then
oRow = 1
oCol = oCol + 3
Else
oRow = oRow + 1
End If
End If
Next myCell
End With
End Sub

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your answers. That helps a lot.
Regarding #4, we use this as part of our documentation during spreadsheet
validations. With Quattro Pro it was very simple --- just check a box under
Print|Page setup|Options, and it would print a list of all cells used in a
sheet and their contents if they contained text or numbers, or the formulas
including cell addresses if they contained formulas. It made it really easy
to document the validation of spreadsheets if they are used to report
results to an external customer.
Thanks again,
Rob
