Default Excel 2003

Unwanted format changes within spread sheet

Spreadsheet set up for top alignment and font Times New Roman
when editing or in new cell changes to bottom alignment and different font
and font size.

To fix this kind of behavior, include the following worksheet event macro:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.VerticalAlignment = xlTop
Cells.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
End Sub


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
