Page setup in excel.

[Guest]

How do I setup the page once and for all? I want to be able to open a new
worksheet and I want it to already have the margins, headers, footers, etc.
that I always use.

How's Linus doing? Smacked him lately?<g>

Your question and solution would be related to the bottom portion(default
worksheet) of this post but will include the standard reply.

To have a default workbook............

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish. File>Save As Type: scroll down
to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your workbook "BOOK"(no quotes).
Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default workbook for File>New>Workbook.

You will have to manually name each book as you save it.

Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.

To have a default worksheet..................

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default Insert>Sheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).
