Don't use the FileNew...Blank Workbook or you will get the Excel default
workbook.

Use FileNew or CTRL + n or New File Icon as Dave suggests.

You can create a template workbook named book.xlt and store it in your XLStart
folder.

Excel will use that for new workbooks when you start excel and when you click on
the New Icon on the Standard toolbar (xl2003 or lower).

If you're using xl2007, you can add that New icon to the QAT so that you can use
that template file.
