This is not a global option.

Must be done on each workbook.

One way around this is to open a new workbook then save as a Template with the
options you want.

Name the workbook BOOK and save as MS Excel Template(*.xlt)

Do not enter the extension, Excel will do that for you.

Store in your XLSTART folder and it will become the template for all workbooks
when opened via FileNew

Note: this will not affect previously saved workbooks.
