Default footnotes

[Johannes van der Pol]

Hell all,

2 questions:

1) Is there a way that every new workbook has a default setup as a footnote
(page number + document name)

2) Is there a way that existing workbooks footnotes are, automatically or
not, overruled by this default as mentioned above.

Best regards,

Johannes

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish. File>Save 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 File>New>Workbook.

Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings. Footers for them will
have to be done manually or via macro(see Chip Pearson reference below)

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 Insert>Sheet.

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

If you want a macro to set headers/footers see Chip Pearson's site for code.
