losing settings excel 2003

[Guest]

When selecting tools/options/view/objects and changing the setting from Show all to Hide all it does not stay. What i mean is when i go out and back into the program the setting has reverted back to Show all.
This also happens with setting very high macro security reverted back to high when exiting the program.
It also happens with Outline symbols under Options/View/Windows options. when this is deselected and you go in and out of the program it reselects itself.
Can anyone help me keep these settings please....

Many Excel settings affect just the active workbook and not the user
defaults. That is the case with both View, Object, Hide All and Outline
Symbols.

I find that Excel 2003's Very High security sticks between sessions. The
only reason that I can think of that we get different results is that you
might not have applied the critical update MS released in November. There
is nothing in the update's description to make me think it changed this
setting but if you haven't applied it and want to try it's here:

Thanks for your answer

I have all the updates and it happens (the security setting changing) in word and excel. Can it be set somewhere else which would override whatever i set it to in the program?
