Default Change Default Template

Hello all,

My Paper Size keeps changing back to A1 from A4.

I would like to remove the default template and start again.

I have done a search for Book.xlt but just can't find it.

Please help

Judith

Default Change Default Template

Excel doesn't have a BOOK.xlt by default.

It uses its own default new workbook template and that cannot be modified.....an
internal default.

You must create your own default template.

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish.

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 or
CTRL + n

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

NOTE: 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).
