What do you consider as the "options window"?

Many ToolsOptions items are Window specific, sheet specific or workbook
specific.

Gridlines enabled/disabled and Row and Column Headers are seheet specific items.

hi,
1.anything done in the options window, is pc spicific and not file specific.
it will not follow the file. it is considered a customization and custom
pereverences vary from user to user so on open a file pick up the current
pc's custom features.
2.have you tried emailing the file to another pc as a test. I'm not sure on
this one but i would test this to make sure because it may change paths on
your pc but i don't think it will when it's opened on another pc.

Hi excel experts

I'm developing a spreadsheet and I want it to look like a word document as
much as possible so as not to scare the non-excel users. I found some great
code for turning off menus (thank you Bob Phillips) but now I want to know if
I use Tools- Options- View- untick gridlines and row & column headings is
this computer specific or will it 'travel' with the spreadsheet? It appears
to be sheet specific which makes me think it will travel but I would like to
be sure before I send it off.

Oh and while I'm here I have used hyperlinks (ctrl+K) on autoshapes for
navigation from sheet to sheet: when I hover my mouse over they have the full
path of the document not just the sheet name so will they break? I have moved
the spreadsheet around on my PC and they seem to be ok but I don't want to
send it & look like a complete idiot :-)

Thank you

Lucy
