This leads me to the next problem I have. How do I change the default file?
What I'm doing doesn't seem to work. I have changed the file book.xlt which
I found in the startup directory. However, now it is the default template
book.xlt that opens.
Intuitively, I don't think this default template should be in the startup
directory and is possibly the reason I get the default template opening on
starting up Excel so where should it go. Then I would like to change the
default template to ensure to acceplt labels in formulas.
Also, I would like the task pane to show up at startup and stay there. It
won't even though the option is set to view task pane. I saved this in
book.xlt and it does stay there but Book1.xls doesn't open and when I go
File New to get a new workbook.xls, the task pane is gone again.
Default files in excel have always plagued me.
I don't know why MS can't just have an option in tools to select default
template for editing rather than digging into the bowels of the MS Office
directory to change it.
