xlstart and exported data
 

Hello, I have created a book and sheet template and have placed this in my
xlstart folder so that when I open excel my custom colors and formatting are
there.

However, when excel is opened by another program, such as exporting a
report, the templates are ignored. Shouldn't excel always use the template
in the xlstart folder?

Thanks,
Jen

As you have noticed..........when opened from another program, Excel uses
the built-in default "blank workbook"

You will find the same thing if you go to FileNew...Blank Workbook.

Excel will open the default, not your customized.

I know of no way to get around that.
