Setting New Workbook and Start Up Options
You can customize several settings in the Excel work environment to suit the way you like to work. You can make general changes, including the default font and the number of sheets in a new workbook. If your workbooks usually contain five sheets, you could make five the workbook default. In addition, you can set start up options (New!) for Excel including opening files with specified extensions, detecting if Excel isn’t the default program for spreadsheets, and showing the Start screen when Excel starts. Taking a few minutes to change Excel’s default setting saves time in the long run.
