Excel VBA Macro -- Custom margins are not saving

In my script, I am setting customer margins. They look good in the code, however when I run the script on a new sheet, it retains the standard 1" margins.

Any suggestions as to how I can get them to stick?

In your code you are disabling PrintCommunication just before setting your margins:

Application.PrintCommunication = False ' <-- disables print communication
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
    .LeftHeader = ""
    .CenterHeader = ""
    .RightHeader = ""
    .LeftFooter = ""
    .CenterFooter = ""
    .RightFooter = ""
    .LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.75)
    .TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
    .BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.25)

but you never enable it again with an Application.PrintCommunication = True, so the changes are never committed.

Refer to the MSDN documentation for more information.

P.S. I would strongly recommend that you look at this question to find ways of avoiding Select and Selection.
