Can I get the same footer (name on left, page in middle, time/stamp on right)
on all my new documents?

Add the footer as required then save as template and use when creating a new
file.

To use this as the default template save it as (type: template) C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\XLStart\book.xlt

Yes it can be done.

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish.
Note: you can set all sheet footers at the same time by "grouping" the sheets.
Right-click on a sheet tab and "select all sheets". Set up a footer on the
active sheet and will be done to all. Ungroup when setup is complete.

FileSave As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your
workbook "BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default workbook for FileNew or the Toolbar button FileNew

Do not use FileNew...Blank Workbook or you will get the Excel default workbook.

Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default InsertSheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).
