I want to ensure that all worksheets including new ones created in a document
automatically have the same custom header and footer.

Can anyone help. I have a lot of templates established and need to get this
sorted for all of them.

For all new workbooks created?

Yes........create a template with the custom header and use that template as the
basis for all new workbooks.

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish. To set a header for each sheet,
select a sheet then right-click and "select all sheets".

Enter your header on the active sheet and will be done to all. Ungroup sheets
when done.

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 or
CTRL + n

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

NOTE: 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).
