I'd like ensure that every spreadsheet I create automatically includes a
footer with the file name without having to go to Page Setup each time. Is
there a way to do this? Many thanks!

The same way as you do with a single sheet (View-"Header and Footer"), just
select ALL of your sheets first. To do that, right click on one and choose
"Select All Sheets"

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish. FileSave As Type: scroll down
to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your workbook "BOOK"(no quotes).
Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default workbook for FileNew

Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default InsertSheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).
