Default Corrupted Excel Program File?

Check for Personal.xls . It is not supplied with Excel. If at all you have
any macros in personal.xls; the next time you open Excel, the Personal.xls
file will be loaded and any macros it contains will be loaded too. You can
check for Personal.xls either by choosing Window..Unhide and checking the
list of files or by pressing Alt-F11 to open Excel VBE. In the Project Pane
on the left tree view you should see Personal.xls listed. As far as where
Personal.xls is stored on your disk, under XP you should find it in
C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
OR else check C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart

Hi all,

I am suspecting a corrupted Excel program file on an installation at our
office, so I want to uninstall and install Excel (which is OK, I can do that).

My question is: Is there an equivalent file in Excel to the Word normal.dot
file? (I know that in Word, if it corrupts, and you uninstall Excel, it
doesn't remove this file, so the corruption remains....).


Excel 2003, SP3.

TIA
