Can I save formats like hidden columns...
Thanks. I'm using Office 2007, so I had to go to HELP to figure out how to
create and use a template instead of following your script. But this didn't tell me how to use a template on an existing workbook. In other words, it seems like it's only good for starting a new workbook. The HELP I used is below. Any ideas? Create and use an Excel template Show All Hide All To save time or to promote standardization, you can save a workbook as a template (template: A workbook that you create and use as the basis for other similar workbooks. You can create templates for workbooks and worksheets. The default template for workbooks is called Book.xlt. The default template for worksheets is called Sheet.xlt.) that you can use to create other workbooks. In Microsoft Office Excel 2007, a template file (.xltx) can include data and formatting, and a macro-enabled template file (.xltm) can also include macros (macro: An action or a set of actions that you can use to automate tasks.

It will work the same as in XL2003. Create the sheet you want as mentioned previously, starting from a new workbook with a single sheet.

Can I save formats like hidden columns...
Ah. Never thought to right mouse on the Sheet tabs at the bottom.
This time, however, I get this message: "Excel cannot insert the sheets into the destination workbook (although my template has only 1 sheet, as per your instructions), because it contains fewer rows and columns than the source workbook. To move or copy the data to the destination workbook, you can select the data, and then use the Copy and Paste commands to insert it into the sheets of another workbook." Well, of course it does, because the idea was to preserve the "hidden" attributes of certain columns. I don't know how it counts rows after one has deleted all data, but I did that on the template to. More ideas? "Roger Govier" <roger@technology4unospamdotcodotuk wrote in message ...

Interesting, but I don't see how it tells me how to switch from template to
template on the same sheet. For instance, sometimes I only want to work with columns A, D, F and G. Other times I want to work with columns A,B,C. Sometimes I want the rows quite high. Other times not. But always working with the same set of data. Am I not seeing something? "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

Hi Laurel
I don't understand why it isn't working for you. I created a dummy template where I hid columns B:E and rows 10:23. I set the width on columns A and F to 6 x normal width, made Row 1 double height and row 2 4 x height.

In other words, it seems like it's only good for starting a new workbook. The HELP I used is below. Any ideas?

You can create templates for workbooks and worksheets. The default template for workbooks is called Book.xlt. The default template for worksheets is called Sheet.xlt.) that you can use to create other workbooks. In Microsoft Office Excel 2007, a template file (.xltx) can include data and formatting, and a macro-enabled template file (.xltm) can also include macros (macro: An action or a set of actions that you can use to automate tasks. Macros are recorded in the Visual Basic for Applications programming language.).
