Page numbering when printing entire workbook

Hi
I have a spreadsheet with 21 worksheets. Each worksheet has a page number in the footer (&[Page] of &[Pages])
When I print out the work sheets separately 'Print active sheets' this works perfectly. When I choose the 'print entire workbook' the page numbers get re-ordered and instead of '1 of 1', '1 of 2' etc. I get '1 of 30'
How can I use the 'Print entire workbook' option and still keep the individual work sheet page numberings?

Many thanks and kind regards
Sue

RE: Page numbering when printing entire workbook

Hello Sue,

Thank you for your post. I've had a look at the page numbering settings and Excel always seems to want to show the total number of pages across the worksheets, not just those in one sheet. I've tried all different settings but none seemed to work the way you want it to.

I'll keep trying and I'll also ask some of my colleagues and get back to you. For the time being, it seems that you will have to print the sheets one by one for the desired effect.

Kind regards
Marius Barnard

Thanks Marius
I'm kind of glad I didn't miss a really simple solution :)
Thanks for trying to find an answer.

Excel tip:

Quickly hide and unhide rows and columns

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D.

Ctrl+Shift+9 unhides rows and Ctrl+Shift+0 unhides columns.
