I need to be able to reset the colour of all spreadsheets I open to
the standard/default palette. Easy I thought, Open_Workbook event in
my Personal macros, however this does not seem to kick in.

Can anyone offer suggestions as to the appropriate place to put this,
I have tried various locations in Personal, all without success.

Thanks
Fred
