How to make all sheets to landscape orientation in Excel?

Author Kelly Last modified

By default, worksheets are in portrait orientation in Excel. It is easy to change the portrait orientation to landscape orientation for one worksheet, but how can you make all worksheets switch to landscape orientation? There are a couple of tricks to help you get it done.


Make all sheets to landscape orientation with selecting all sheets

We can select all worksheets in a workbook firstly, and then change these worksheets’ orientations together. You can do as follows:

Step 1: Right click one sheet in the Sheet Tabs bar, and then select the Select All Sheets from the right-clicking menu.

Now, all sheets in the current workbook are selected together.
Note: For selecting all sheets with shortcuts, you can also select the first sheet in the Sheet Tabs bar, pressing the Shift key and then select the last sheet.

Step 2: Click the Page Layout > Orientation > Landscape.
