To change the default Template for all New workbooks...................

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish.
Note: you can set all sheet footers at the same time by "grouping" the sheets.
Right-click on a sheet tab and "select all sheets". Set up a footer on the
active sheet and will be done to all. Ungroup when setup is complete.

FileSave As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your
workbook "BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

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

This will be the default workbook for FileNew or the Toolbar button FileNew

Do not use FileNew...Blank Workbook or you will get the Excel default workbook.

Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings and would require a macro
or grouping the sheets and make settings as above.

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default InsertSheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).

Thank you, but I think what you're describing would have to be set up on each
document each time--I was looking to have it happen automatically whenever a
document was saved.

If you're using xl2002+, you can include the path in the header/footer via
file|Page setup|header/footer tab.

If you're using xl2k and below, you may want to get John Walkenbach's AddPath

We would like to set up our employees Office docs to automatically add and
print the file path, including file name, as a footer on all Excel and Word
documents.
We think we had this set up at one time, but lost it in an upgrade and now
can't seem to find how to do it.

Thanks.
