Startup Template
I have created a new style and stored it in the start up template in Program
Files/Microsoft Office/Office11/XLSTART/BOOK.XLT. Before I saved it, I checked the STYLE drop down box and it was there. When I create a new workbook, the new style is not avaialble as I expected |

How did you create the new workbook?
Did you click the New icon on the standard toolbar? Are you sure that this was the correct XLStart location? I'd use windows search to find them all (could be a few, depending on how you upgraded). Then clean up all but the "real" one. (Move the files to the correct location or delete them if they're not needed.) And I'd let excel tell me the "real" one. Open excel Hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window type this and hit enter: ?application.startuppath For me (winXP Home) and xl2003, I see: ?application.startuppath C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART GKW in GA wrote: I have created a new style and stored it in the start up template in Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office11/XLSTART/BOOK.XLT.

If you clicked on FileNew...Blank workbook, you will get the Excel default
workbook. FileNew or click on New File Icon See Dave's post about location of default XLSTART folder. Mine is located at C:\Documents and Settings\Gord\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART Gord would be your username.

That worked. I was using the wrong path, the one mentioned in the Microsoft
Help. I presume macros should be stored there too. Thanks "Dave Peterson" wrote: How did you create the new workbook? Did you click the New icon on the standard toolbar?

Maybe some of them.
I put my personal.xl* file there along with my book.xlt and sheet.xlt (for adding new sheets to existing workbooks). But I don't put any other files there. I'll load them when I need them if they're .xls (and some .xla) files. Or I'll use tools|addins for the .xla files that I need. But if you have multiple .xls files that need to be opened every time you open excel, then that seems like a reasonable approach. GKW in GA wrote: That worked.
