How do I transfer the format of one worksheet into another?

[Molly]

I have a workbook containing multiple sheets with a certain format/formula
set up already. Now I want to add another worksheet and want the same format
to transfer. How do I do this?

Molly--

You can copy/paste the entire worksheet by clicking in the region in the
upper left hand corner that will select the whole thing, press CTRL-C then
go to a new blank worksheet and press CTRL-V (paste).

You can then delete contents by pressing "DEL" on your keyb.

Also you can copy as described above, then paste special "formats" or
"formats" then paste special again "formulas".

Hope this helps.

Right-click and "Move or Copy" select "create a copy".

Now clear all Constants from this sheet. Edit>Go To>Special>Constants

One other method if you're doing this often.

Create a new workbook with one sheet.

Copy all formats/formulas from the existing worksheet to this one.

File>Save As>File Type> Excel Template (*.xlt)

Store in your XLSTART folder and this will be your Insert>New Worksheet
default.
