Default Changing Excel defaults

Hi Folks,

Is there a way to change the default style of a cell comment, for
example to 10 point text, not bold?

Is there a way to set the default alignment of all cells in a new
sheet centered horizontally and vertically?

Thanks!

Yes to the second question, not sure about the first. Create a new sheet
built the way you want it. Then, click Help (on the menu), and look for info
on creating templates. Done correctly, you'll be able to click File, New,
and see your template there along with all the others (if any yet).

Here are the answers to my own questions, found via Google Groups.
Sorry to have asked before looking myself.


From Bernie Deitrick, Oct 26 1999, in microsoft.public.excel.programming
Sub New_Comment()
' Inserts a comment in 10 point regular text.
On Error Resume Next
With ActiveCell.AddComment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.F ont
.Size = 10
End With
SendKeys "+{F2}"
End Sub

You can go to FileNew and set up a worksheet as you wish. Delete
other sheets in this workbook.
FileSave AsTypeTemplate(*.xlt)
Name it SHEET and save it to your XLSTART folder. Any new worksheets
added or inserted will have the attributes you want.
Also save it as BOOK.XLT to have it as the default workbook that
opens when you want a new workbook.
