default margins

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

how do i set default margins for all my excel files / worksheets.

Does this help you?

With ActiveSheet.PageSetup

.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.78740157480315)
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.78740157480315)
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.984251968503937)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.984251968503937)
.HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.511811023622047)
.FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.511811023622047)

You can also set the desired margins in an empty workbook and save it as a template with the name Book.xlt or Sheet.xlt in the XLStart folder in your Microsoft Excel program folder. Microsoft Excel uses these templates to create new default workbooks or to insert new worksheets when you click Worksheet on the Insert menu.

Thanks this was really easy. I saved all kinds of print settings. It was bugging me how to avoid setting the print settings all the time. The only part I couldn't get to work was saving the workbook in the XLStart folder. I have one of those folders, but it's in the Office folder, I don't have a separate Excel folder. I looked it up on the help menu and it gave the exact instructions you gave. I'm not sure why my folders aren't consistent. What I ended up doing was creating a shortcut on my desktop to the BOOK.XLT, so now I'll always use that shortcut rather than the Excel shortcut. It works and is just as easy.
