Of course, I should have thought about Personal.xls as well.

Hi Bob

Thankx for your suggestion. I found a file called "personal.xls" in that
folder (not book.xlt) and I opened it and then made the change and saved
it
and my problem is solved!!!!

You pointed me in the right direction and I thank you for that.

Cheers
Sheila

Could it be that you have the workbook template setup in R1C1, it is
Book.xlt in the XLStart directory.

Excel picks up this setting from the first workbook you open in that
session.
If you're unlucky enough that your first workbook opened is in R1C1
reference
style, you'll have to make the change.

Do you save the workbook after you make the change to A1 reference
style?

Do you have a coworker who likes R1C1 and saves it that way? (Could
mean
a
fight!)

"R1C1" every time I open Excel, it does not seem to store my setting
permanently. How can I permanently undo this setting so that I
work in
"A1"
mode?

Thankx
