Hi
Set a sheet up as you like it and save it as book.xlt in your Xlstart
folder. This will become the default book format.

Is there a way to make the default spreadsheet open with the "print
gridlines" box checked?
I've tried going to File-Page Setup-Sheet-Print gridlines, then doing
Save As, saving it as a template. But it doesn't "stick"

I usually use Excel making lists, etc. Often at school especially I want
to print the SS out. I invariably will forget to print the gridlines, so I
waste a sheet of paper (or more) by the time I remember. I'd like to make
this the default.
