How can we transmit styles from one spreadsheet to another?

[PROF. GOVARDHAN JAYANTHI]

I feel there is a necessity to have a template like the NORMAL Template in
Word on Excel; I am not able to find it in MS OFFICE 2003.
Alternatively, At least we should have a provision to transfer styles from
one spread sheet to another to same time on repeated formatting.
Such a facility is anyway already available in MS WORD; so why not in EXCEL?

Hi

It is Book.xlt and is normally found in your XLSTART folder.
You can create any number of Xlt (Template files) for different needs, and
start from any one of them.
File>New> will offer you the opportunity of opening any template as your
starting point for a new workbook.

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 or the Toolbar button
File>New or CTRL + n

WARNING................Do not use File>New...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 Insert>Sheet.

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