Copying formats - column widths, formats, outlining to worksheets

[DavidBr318]

I very often use worksheets to create a master workbook - it is tedious to
re-create the formating of the master worksheet to each subsequent worksheet
- In one column it may be formated with at date, the next with general
infromation, the next with numbers, various calcuations, each column having
its own specific widths, etc. along with outlining of various cells.
Is there a way I can have Excel copy the formating of a worksheet to other
worksheets

Thanks,
David

Copy the master worksheet and on new spread sheet go to edit -paste special
and select formats and then again paste special and select column width

Highlight the whole of the formatted master worksheet by clicking the top
left hand square above row 1 and to the left of column A, and click the
format painter on the toolbar. Go to the unformatted sheet and click in the
same place,
Regards,
Alan.
