How do I add my own custom footer to the standard choices?

I want to have my own custom footer added to the standard footers so I do not
have to manually enter it each time I create a workbook

Custom headers and footers are a property of the workbook and not a global
property.

I would suggest you record a macro while doing your setup then store that
macro in your Personal.xls. See below for Chip Pearson's header/footer
macros.

Alternative.......

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish. File>Save As Type: scroll down
to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your workbook "BOOK"(no quotes).
Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default workbook for File>New>Workbook.

Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings. Footers for them will
have to be done manually or via macro(see Chip Pearson reference below)

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default Insert>Sheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).

If you want a macro to set headers/footers see Chip Pearson's site for code.
