Registry setting for default document type?
Hi,
I am on a network with over 5,000 users. When they set us up, whoever designed the system erroneously decided that we needed to use the default file format that is backward compatible all the way to Office 95. This file format causes HUGE file bloat (as much as 40x the normal file size!) I believe I have finally gotten the attention of the right people; it will be easy to fix the ghost image for future accounts but they are stymied as to how to fix the 5,000 existing accounts in an automated way. Is there a registry setting they can "reach out" and change to select regular Excel 2003 as the default document type? -- Ann Scharpf |

Registry setting for default document type?
When something other than the default file format is made the save default
it is saved in the registry for Excel 2003 he HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Options\DefaultFormat Just deleting this entry will set Excel back to the normal format. -- Jim "Ann Scharpf" wrote in message ... | Hi, | | I am on a network with over 5,000 users.
