default colours in excel

[Paul Reeve]

Hi all,

I am attempting to change the default colours used by excel for chart fills
and chart lines to something which looks better when printed, especially in
greyscale. I have attempted to amend them and save the amendments as the
default "book.xlt" template, but the old ones keep coming back. Can anyone
assist me? I am using excel xp/windows 2000 at work, excel2000/windows xp at
home (!)

TIA

Paul

Where did you save book.xlt? It should be in the XLStart directory.

Also try opening book.xlt directly, not via new, and see if your changes
have saved okay?
