Howdo I set a default footer in Excel Book1 on opening
Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish including your print
settings.........group the sheets before setup so's all sheets get same Footer setup...............those items you want are available through the Icons on Custom Footer. 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 for Excel 2003................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). Instructions are for Excel 2003 and earlier. 2007 is similar except you would save as BOOK.xltx Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sun, 30 May 2010 14:44:01 -0700, Ron wrote: I want to have a footer in every new workbook that opens.
