Hello,
Is there a way to set default page settings for new workbooks? I would like
to have default margins different than the standard 1.0 inch for top and
bottom.

Hi,

create and record an spreadsheet called "personal.xls" on the startup folder
with the custom format that you would like to work.

normaly you can find it as
C:\program files\microsoft offece\office11\startup

OR

Create a template workbook and name it book.xlt and put it in the 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.

Marcelo

The personal.xls file is useful for things like common macros that the user
wants available when excel starts. But it's not used for storing these kinds of
page layouts/formatting.

But book.xlt would work nicely.
