Hi there,

i’d like to automatically open a blank excel worksheet formatted to 2 decimal places “(,) style” everytime I open excel or a new worksheet.

Regards
Abdul

This works for setting the default font for the spread sheet but it does NOT affect charts which continue to default to Calibri.

I appreciate the help, but as some of the others, changing the font in the word options area does not work for me also. My system keeps re-opening Excel with Calibri, font 11. I wonder if you found a solution for the others and what that might be? Thank you for any help, s. french

The problem still exist, its just a very simple steps but everytime I restart a new Excel, it still defaulted to Arial but if I open the excel options it is already on the desired font. I rebooted my whole pc, still same problem.

please help… not sure what david prejan is referring to regarding OK button being hidden. once you click the office button, the OK button is available already.

Regarding changing the font, I just discovered that, after selecting the font that I want, I had to click on the ‘OK’ button at the bottom. The button was hidden by the taskbar at the bottom and I couldn’t see it.

By right clicking on the taskbar and then unchecking ‘Lock the Taskbar’ the OK button was visible.
