Excel template
In our company we have created our own inhouse Excel style. I've made this into a template by merging the style with a new workbook and saved this as a .xtlx file. I've saved this in all the XLS...
The default template in XLSTART must be named Book.xltx - it won't work if you give it a different name.
(The name is language-dependent, though. In Spanish, for example, it should be Libro.xltx)
- Unfortunatly, that is not the problem. I've tried to name ik Book and Boek (as the software I have is in Dutch), but neither has worked.
Amberpxlence In the Dutch version of Excel, the template should indeed be named Boek.xltx, and it should be stored in %appdata%\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART. This folder should not contain other workbooks and templates, unless you want to open those each time you start Excel.
Excel should use this template:
- When you start Excel.
- When you press Ctrl+N to create a new workbook.
- When you click New on the Quick Access Toolbar (if you have a New button there).
- Unfortunately the correct file with the correct name already was in that folder. I've deleted it, tried again in Dutch and English. I've both just saved it as a .xltx file and named it 'Boek.xltx' while it was saved as a .xltx file. Also in both English and Dutch. Still Excel is only starting up with it's built in styles...
