Re: How to reset excel 2003 to factory defaults ?
You can locate the book.xlt file and copy it into the XLStart folder under Application Data. Or you can to to the Help menu and and use the Auto-detect and repair feature. That resets the program to the defaults. I know because I messed up the standard template so badly
Re: How to reset excel 2003 to factory defaults ?
I read somewhere on google i can do something with an XLT but closed the page cus i thought its referring to a Workbook's temporary file.
Thanks Allot, I will give it a go!

Re: How to reset excel 2003 to factory defaults ?
That is what I am talking about. It is a file called book.xlt and it is hidden. You need to locate it - unhide it and copy it into the XLStart folder. Then you need to hide it again if I remember correctly (but it may not be necessary).
Re: How to reset excel 2003 to factory defaults ?
Yes but when you open an Xls file it also creates a hidden temp file, thats what i'm talking about you are talking about the master template file.
