Programatically change pagesetup on 300 drawings at once.

[Mabjro]

I need to change the pagesetup on all layouts on a selected set of drawings. Is there a way to do this programatically, or do I need to open every one and change the setup in every layout?

Thanks
Mabjro

Do you know LISP or VBA?
Do you have Microsoft Access? I can help if you using VBA if you do.

Sorry Doug,
I did not think anyone posted to this question. I am a novice with VBA and pretty good at Access. If you have the time and want to help, I would love to know how to bring all of this together.
Hope your still there.

Doug,
Specifically, I am trying to change the (x) plot offset to 1" on about 300 drawings. I want to do this because I need to get them into a binder. I will use batch plotting to print them all. The drawings were originally set up to be printed on 36" x 24". When I print them to fit on 11 x 17 there is about a 1" margin on the right side of the page. I found that if I change the plot offset to 1" on the (x), the margin shifts to the left side of the page. This way I can bind them on the left. It would be helpful if there was a way to automate this change to page setup. Is the page setup dialog box a form with properties and methods? If it is, can I access them and how? If not, could you show me how VBA applies.
Thank you,
Jonathan
