Select all sheets by right-click on a sheet tab and "select all sheets".

CTRL + a(twice) to select all cells.

FormatRowHeight. Set to 15

Right-click on a shee tab and "ungroup sheets".

FileSave AsFile TypeTemplate(*.xlt)

Browse to the correct XLSTART folder(there can be several on your computer)

The correct XLSTART folder will be at

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

username will be your name in the path.

Type in BOOK. Excel will add the .XLT

Close Excel then re-open and check the row heights.

NOTE: FileNew...Blank Workbook will not be based upon the BOOK.XLT template.

FileNew(no ellipsis) will be based on BOOK.XLT

New File Icon will be based upon BOOK.XLT

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but it don't work for me!! I did
locate the .xlt file and did a "save as" thus overwriting, but when I closed
excel and re-opened there was the blessed 12.75 row hight still small as
life!! As I say, perhaps it can't be changed in 2003 as in 97.
