Excel doesn't necessarily have a default template. However, if
you create a template named Book.xlt and place it in your XLStart
folder (typically C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\XLStart), new workbooks will be created with this
template.

I'm trying to find the Default template that starts up every
time you open
excel. However, I have not been able to locate it. Is there a
default
template for excel like there is in Word (normal.dot)

Thank you,
