I never did use BOOK1, always just BOOK, so I wasn't having some problems you
were. The testing I used was to close Excel and open Excel. When typing a
number 999 in A1, it would display as "1234". After clicking the "Comma
Style" button, it would display as "1,234". This morning, though, the button
would have made it display as "1,234.00 " (notice the trailing space, too...I
don't like that)

Thanks for the answer, that this is relative to the specific workbook and I
would have to programmatically change all existing workbooks.

I thought of a couple of questions while typing up this last comment.

Is this button format saved for the Workbook, and all co-workers (network
drive) will get the same functionality in any Workbook I create, or is it
specific to my machine and workbook?

How does Book.xltx differ from Book.xlsx? I have never been clear on when
to use a template file.

Thanks again, Peter

Did you save as Book.xltx

For testing, colour format some cell in the saved Bookxltx, each time you
open a new book you should see your coloured cell. Note this only works for
new workbooks.

If you want all your old workbooks to include the modified style you'll need
to add it to each workbook as a one-off operation. Of course that can be
done programmatically, eg as a batch process open all files in a folder,
amend the built in style, save and close.

Still not there...
I have changed the "Comma Style" button by going he
Home Styles Cell Styles Comma (right-click) Modify

I have saved this Workbook as an .xlsx and as an .xltx in the XLSTART
folder, deleting any other files which were in the folder. I don't see
any
difference whether using xlsx or xltx. However, in each case, when I open
a
pre-existing workbook, the button works as Microsoft's default setup.

Our posts crossed, I suspect my suggestion as quoted below merely opens
the
wb a single time, see my other post and save as a template named
Book.xltx
in the start folder (note, without the "1" in the name)

Sorry for the confusion,
Peter T

Thanks, Peter, it works great for all new workbooks.

Now, do you know if there is a way to make that button act the same for
all
workbooks? When I open an old workbook, and select a (pre-filled) cell
to
change to My comma style, it still uses the MS Comma Style (with 2
decimals).

In a new workbook amend the Comma style as you want. Save the workbook
with
no code in the XLSTART folder as a normal workbook named Book1.xlsx
(or
in
whatever format you prefer), note do not save as a template, no code
required.

This should act as the template for new workbooks.

In my XLSTART folder, I have saved an .xltm file, where a single
line
in
the
Workbook_Open event reads:
ActiveWorkbook.Styles("Comma").NumberFormat = "#,##0"
When I open another workbook, and push the "Comma" button, I get 2
decimals
for the cell(s). How can I make my "Comma" button ALWAYS display in
the
"#,##0" format?
