Question

With Excel (Office 2010), I am printing off with the same footer, and in landscape. I made a macro which changes the workbook from Portrait to Landscape, however Excel / VB seems to not like editing the footer of a page with macros.

Are you able to edit the footer with a macro, using possibly a VB code workaround, or otherwise?

Answer 1

did you try recording a macro? I cleaned this up, but this is directly from Excel 2003

Sub setFooter()

On Error GoTo HandleErrors 
'@JimmyPena pointed out an msdn example that seems useful to incorporate
Application.PrintCommunication = False 

    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .Orientation = xlLandscape
        .LeftFooter = "What"
        .CenterFooter = "a"
        .RightFooter = "Header"

    End With
Application.PrintCommunication = True 

ExitHere: 
    Exit Sub 

HandleErrors: 
    ' If an error occurs, make sure you reset 
    ' print communications. 
    Application.PrintCommunication = True 
    Resume ExitHere 
    End Sub

Unless you have some other issue that I am not understanding
