aiandas, Set up a workbook as you want it (Font, margins, number of sheets,
cell formats, headers, footers, gridlines to print, etc). Now Save As, and
change the file type to "Excel Template (.xlt)" not (.xls).
Locate your XLStart folder, typically somewhere like "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart\", and save the file as book. Excel
will add the .xlt for you

Every time you open a new workbook from now on (you may have to restart
Excel first) this template will be used. To revert back to the original,
just delete this file.

For all new workbooks.

Tools>Options>General>Standard Font.

Make the change here and close/re-start Excel.

Existing saved workbooks will not be affected by this.

Thank you. Can you recommend a book or what not that will show me all the
tricks of excel? I am thinking to use it as a sales tool.

Debra Dalgleish has a great book list at her site.

John Walkenbach's books are very good.

Each book has a link to Amazon.com where reviews are available.

Print out the list and trot off down to you local bookstore and see if they have
one you like.
