Protecting Page SetUp Properties

[MWE]

protecting worksheet contents is pretty easy, but what if you want to protect, say, page setup properites, e.g., margins. One can disable the Page SetUp menu pick, but there are other ways to get to those properties; and disabling all avenues is pretty drastic.

I poked around the ojbect browser looking for something that might enable/disable page setup properties but found nothing

Any thoughts?

Instead of disabling them, just set them with a macro. You can run the macro before the file is printed to ensure that it will always be set the way you want.

Exactly, there is a ThisWorkbook Before_Print you can use for this:


Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
'put all your settings here
End Sub

An interesting approach. I use that proc a lot but never thought about using it to override any page setup properties changed by a user.

Thanks
