Default How to prevent Excel converting imported fractions into dates


If you want Excel to default to Transition formula entry at startup, you
can save a blank workbook with this option set, in the XLStart
directory:

Root\OS\Profiles\User_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart

(e.g. C:\Windows\Profiles\Phil\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart). You can also set another directory to
be the startup directory. This is done under Tools, Options, General,
Alternate startup file location. Just be careful to create a brand new
directory for this purpose, because all files in the startup directory
are automatically loaded.

You can also save a blank workbook with the option selected, as a
template. Name the template something like Transition.xlt. Then when
you click File, New... you will have the choice to create the new
workbook with or without transition formula entry turned on.
