can't change default fonts
That setting works only for all new workbooks.
If you start Excel then FileNew you should get the new font as default. Existing saved workbooks retain the font that was default when they were saved. To change existing workbooks go to FormatStyleModify and make changes there. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 1 Aug 2008 17:44:01 -0700, LeeCC wrote: Hello! I am having EXCEL2003.

One more note.
When you do change the default font under ToolsOptionsGenral this also affects the font of the row and column headers for new workbooks.

can't change default fonts
I've run out of suggestions except for..............
This default font setting is stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Options..rightside windowFont Perhaps you do not have permissions to write to the Registry? Can you open the Registry at StartRun regedit OK? If so, what is the setting for Font? Close Registry, make a change in Excel default font and have another look in the Registry to see if it took.

can't change default fonts
Hello!
Thanks again for your effort in helping. I manage to change the fonts by using Book.xlt. But still, the row and column headings don't change, only the cell contents changed.

I have checked the RegEdit, the Font there is the desired font, but the row and column headings are not.
