"FILES OF TYPE"

[ROD BRIM]

When I open Excel, how can I get the same file to open
each time in "files of type"? "ALL MICROSOFT EXCELL
FILES" is the default and I would like to have "MICROSOFT
EXCELL FILES" open each time

Excel likes to help you.

I just type:
*.xls
or
*.xl*

in the filename box and hit enter.

It's a little extra work, but it's still pretty quick.

And if I know that I'm looking for something with "yyy" in the name, I'd type:
*yyy*.xls
and hit enter.
