Here are the tips on how to execute the column widths or utilize special formatting to a range of cells in a group of sheets.   
To select adjacent sheets, follow the steps below:  
1.	Select by clicking a sheet tab.  
2.	Press Shift and keep it pressed while clicking a second sheet tab.  
The Excel will generate both clicked sheets and all the sheets in between.    
To select non-adjacent sheets follow the steps below:  
	Click CTRL and keep it depressed while clicking sheet tabs.  
The Excel will generate all of the clicked sheets.    
To select all sheets, follow the steps below:  
	Right-click a sheet tab and choose “Select All Sheets”.    
To select the active sheet and the previous sheet: 
	Click Shift + Ctrl + Page Up.    
To select the active sheet and the following sheet:  
	Click Shift + Ctrl + Page Down.  
Don’t forget that you're working with a multi-sheet selection so be reminded that when you do something to the current sheet, Excel repeats for every sheet in the selection.    
If you make changes to a selection of sheets when you meant to change only the active sheet, you may have a lot of damage to repair.  
You can avoid confusion by canceling a multi-sheet selection task as soon as you finish your multi-sheet tasks.  
To do so:  
	Click an unselected sheet or right-click a selected sheet tab and choose Ungroup Sheets.   |  
 
  When I select a couple sheets I receive this message when I try typing in the cell. Do you know a work around so I can type in my cell? 
"you cannot make changes to a table or XML mapping when multiple sheets are selected"
