Changing defaults
Is there a way to change the defaults in Excel. For instance, I'd like
to have the zero values option unchecked. Thanks, John |

Changing defaults
That setting is a Window only setting which is good on one sheet only.
You must change the default new workbook. Open a new workbook. Customize your as you wish. Note, to have all sheets formatted to not show zeros, select one sheet tab and "Select all Sheets" to do all sheets at once. 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).
