Default Page Setup for custom prints

When using Page Setup for printing, there are several default headers and
footers that appear in the drop-down box. Is there a way to set up your own
header or footer so that the choice shows up every time you use Excel (as
opposed to having to set up a custom header or footer every time)?

Default Page Setup for custom prints

You cannot add to the built-ins directly.

When you add a Custom header or footer this will be saved with the workbook and
wind up in the built-ins list.

This is a workbook saving, not a global one.

For all new workbooks you can create a Template with a header/footer of your
customizing.

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish. FileSave
As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your workbook
"BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default workbook for FileNew or the Toolbar button FileNew

Do not use FileNew...Blank Workbook or you will get the Excel default workbook.

Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default InsertSheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).
