Change Default Font in Excel for Document Only?
 

Does anyone know how to/if I can change the font for an entire document
without changing it for every document thereafter?

Change Default Font in Excel for Document Only?
 

Start a new workbook.
Set up everything you want--headers/footers/layout/font...
Save it as book.xlt in your XLStart folder.

Then excel will use that when you create a new workbook by clicking on the new
icon on the standard toolbar.

If you want the same thing when you add a new worksheet to an existing workbook,
save another workbook (probably a single sheet???) in that same XLStart
folder--but name it Sheet.xlt.

Thanks, but I'm don't think that's what I'm trying to do. I don't want to
change how every document operates, just a specific document. For example, I
have a document titled Client Information and I would like to set it so that
every cell I type in has Garamond font, but I don't want to change my default
font for Excel documents. Does that make sense? Does anyone know how to do
this?

Right-click on a sheet tab and "Select all sheets"

CTRL + a(twice in 2003) to select all cells.

FormatCellsFontGaramondOk your way out.

Right-click on a sheet tab and "ungroup sheets"

I thought you wanted to change that setting once and never have to change it
again.


Glad Gord helped you.
