Default Best way to apply a custom number format to all files

Hi

What do you recommend as the best way to create a custom number format for
any number I enter in Excel and be able to apply that number format quickly
on any new number I enter in any new Excel file I create?

Should I create a recorded macro in the personal file and record the steps
to create the custom number format or should I create a style for it and
store it in the default book template? (or is there a better way than either
of the above)?

Thank you very much

Craig

How about using the format painter button, that will copy all your formats
from one cell to another.
