Hi Buddy

You can save a empty workbook as a template with this format and name it "Book" (no quotes)
you must save it in your xlstart folder

You can find it here in Excel 2003
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART

Every new workbook you open now have this format

Hi all,

I created a new custom format in "Format Cells", after using this custom
format I save the file and quit, when I open the old file the custom format
still in this file, but when I try to create a new file the custom format is
lost. Is it possible to keep the custom format forever in the Excel so that
I don't need to create it again when open new workbook? Many Thanks.

Buddy
