Worksheet Template
Can anyone tell me how I can create a worksheet template, with the fonts,
layout, etc that I specify, that will be inserted into a workbook when I click Insert/Worksheet? I have already tried creating a single sheet document, which I have saved as an .xlt file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart, but this wasn't picked up when I used the Insert command. I saved the file as 'worksheet template.xlt'. Thanks for your help. Janet |

Create a workbook that contains one worksheet. On the worksheet, include the formatting, styles, text, and other information you want to appear on all new sheets of the same type. 2.. On the File menu, click Save As. Show Me 3.. In the Save as type box, click Template (*.xlt). 4.. In the Save in box, select the folder where you want to store the template. To create the default worksheet template, select either the XLStart folder or the alternate startup folder. The XLStart folder is usually C:\os\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart where os is the operating system folder - for example, Windows. To create a custom sheet template, select the Templates folder, which is usually C:\os\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates where os is the operating system folder - for example, Windows. 5.. In the File name box, type sheet to create a template for default worksheets. To create a custom sheet template, type any valid file name. 6.. Click Save, and then click Close on the File menu. |

Wrong XLSTART folder. Try this one................ C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART The other steps you have taken look correct. Make sure you save as SHEET.XLT Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 9 Mar 2006 05:12:27 -0800, Janet T wrote: Can anyone tell me how I can create a worksheet template, with the fonts, layout, etc that I specify, that will be inserted into a workbook when I click Insert/Worksheet?

Thanks for your help with this. I will save as sheet.xlt. I have also found out that you can right-click the sheet tab and use Insert from there to select a sheet in the templates window. Thanks again. Regards Janet "Gord Dibben" wrote: Janet Wrong XLSTART folder. Try this one................

You used a different name. If you want the template to be the one Excel
defaults to when you simply want a new, blank sheet, you must name it "sheet.xlt". You can give other templates any name you want, but for that special sheet, the name is important. The instructions I copied came from the Excel 2000 help system. Not sure if later versions are different, so check your help thing. I simply put the words "default template" in the search window, and came up with these instructions. "Jitty" wrote in message ... Doug Thanks for your help with this.
