And the way you'd change that color....

This was posted by Debra Dalgleish:

This should set the default colour for any new books:

1. Create a new, blank workbook.
2. Choose ToolsOptions
3. On the Colour tab, click on the yellow square
4. Click Modify, select a colour as the default, click OK
5. To make yellow available, select the square that has the same colour
as the new default, and change it to yellow
6. Click OK.
7. Choose FileSave As
8. Save as Type: Template
9. FileName: Book
10. Location -- save the file in your XLSTART folder
11. Click Save

Is there a way to change the default shading color ?
Whenever I start Excel, the shading colour in the "Fill Colour" icon, in the
Formatting Toolbar, has changed back to a light yellow color. I would like
this to default to another color.

I am using Excel 2000.
