The template must be named "book.xlt" and it must be saved in the XLstart
folder. Those names are fixed.

Nope, doesn't seem to work.
I mentioned in my first post that I had done that (not saved it the XLstart
folder though)

Any other ideas?

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.
