What you essentially did is to copy the worksheet containing the header and footer you desired, then you copied that header and footer to other worksheets in the workbook, then you deleted the original worksheet.

Make sure the Create a Copy check box is selected.Using the Before Sheet area, indicate where you want the sheet copied.Using the To Book drop-down list, select the target workbook you opened in step 1.Excel displays the Move or Copy dialog box. Choose Move or Copy Sheet from the Edit menu.Open the workbook that is the source of your header and footer, and make sure the desired worksheet is displayed.


If the header and footer is one you use quite a bit in new workbooks, and your main concern is to have the header and footer available in those new workbooks (not in existing workbooks), then the best approach would be to create a template workbook. Doing so within a workbook is relatively easy, but doing so from one workbook to another can be more daunting. You may want to copy these headers and footers from one worksheet to another. Excel allows you to specify headers and footers for your worksheets.
