    To select all worksheets in one go, select the first sheet, hold down the Shift key, then select the last sheet. This will group the sheets.

    If you provided a better explanation with more details about what you are doing there may be a better solution to accomplish your task.

    Thanks for the reply,

    I'm having problems with the spreadsheet opening up and saving.

    It's taking real long to open up & when I try to save it it freezes up sometimes

    I'm hoping if I save it to a new excel sheet that might fix the problem

    I see how to highlight the whole spreadsheet, but while it is highlighted how do I copy all the tabs at once

    Once you have all of the desired sheets selected:

    1. Right click on any sheet tab and choose "Move or copy" from the pop up menu

    2. In the dialog box, in the "To Book" section, click the drop down and choose "New Book"

    3. At the bottom of the dialog make sure "Create a copy" is checked.

    For a quick VBA copy solution, you can run this bit of code which will copy all sheets to a new workbook, but you don't get to pick and choose which ones.
