Leslie, I think you will have to change the default template that excel
uses,
Set up a workbook as you want it (Change the font color, you could also
change things like 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).
In the save in box, locate your XLStart folder, typically somewhere like
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart\", and save the file as
book.
Now 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.
