Try it one more time. And remember to change the orientation on all the sheets
in that book.xlt template file.

Each time you click on the new icon, that new workbook will inherit all the
settings from that template file.

And if you want all new worksheets added to existing workbooks to have that same
setting, create a single sheet template and save it as sheet.xlt.

Bob,

I tried this and save it, at first I thought that it had changed, but it
still kept the Portrait orientation. Anyother idea?

thanks

You're close. Save it as a Template, called Book.xlt, and place it in your
XLStart directory (in a place like C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\XLStart)
Now every time you start Excel or create a new workbook, you have it.

Does anyone know of a way to set Excel to default to Landscape instead of
Portrait at opening?

Thanks

The only way I know to do this is to set to landscape and save as book1.xls,
then open it everytime.
