Default How do I change the defaults for Page Setup in Excel?

Start a new workbook. Do all the stuff you like for each worksheet in that
workbook.

Save it as a template file named book.xlt in your XLStart folder.

Each time you click on the new icon on the standard toolbar, that new workbook
will inherit all the settings from that template file.

If you want new worksheets added to existing workbooks to have these same
settings, set up another workbook template file (one sheet only???) and name it
sheet.xlt. Save it in the same XLStart folder.

Once I figured out where the XLStart file was located, your solution worked
great! Thanks! One thing though, a few times I selected "template" the path
was changed to Document & Settings, etc....and new sheet did not change.
After a few of tries, all is OK. Thanks again Dave!
