Hi Bert

One way is to create a template an name it "Book"

If you have the Book.xlt in the Xlstart folder all new
workbooks are created from this template.

Hi,
I have tried going to Page Setup on an Excel 2003 sheet and changing
envelope to 8 1/2X11 sheets. I cannot make it default to 8 1/2 X 11. Every
time I start a new sheet it goes back to envelope. Any idea would be
appreciated. I actually saved the change as a new blank on the desktop. Is
that necessary?
Bert
