D Dave Peterson Oct 7, 2004 #3 Just to add to Harald's reply... The setting is for the workbook. In MSWord, this setting affects all documents. You could create a book.xlt workbook template and store it in your XLStart folder. Change this setting to create a backup. Then each workbook that is created from that template will inherit this setting--this won't affect any existing workbooks. You have to do them via the dialog.
