Page Setup not saving?

Hello--

I have a spreadsheet that I update and reprint at least weekly. The problem is that EVERY time I open the document, I have to go to File > Page Setup, click the "Options…" button, and choose "US Legal" from the Paper Size menu--this setup isn't saved with the document.

Am I missing something? It's quite frustrating, especially if I forget to go through these steps and accidentally print twice as many pages as I need to!

Thanks.

Unfortunately, no, you're not missing something. Excel fails to save your
page size with the file. It's a bug that we're investigating.

I agree that it's frustrating and I'm sorry that you have to go back and
change it manually.

Thanks, Todd. Your sympathy (and calling it a "bug") are both much appreciated!

I thank Todd, too. It is frustrating with Excel 2008/Leopard. M. Word keeps all document sizes. Why cannot Excel do the same? Will this bug be fixed (it is a big nuisance)?

12.1.1 was just released and did not fix this problem for me. Any
other ideas?
