Hi

Does anyone know how I can get excel to open this file as a standard when I select a 'New' workbook?

I want the extended rows and columns associated with this format
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I'm using Excel 2010 and if I do New then Save As, .xlsx is the default format.

What version of Excel are you using?

Fisher1975,

Try Excel Options >> Save >> Save Workbooks >> Save workbooks in this format:

and select your required default from the topdown list.

Hope that helps.

***Edit Sorry, you are saying open not save!! ***
(Back to bed methinks..)

Snakehips,

Worry not, I never knew that you could change the default SaveAs filetype - respect!
