Is there a way to set a global footer for all workbooks to print the filename and extention at the bottom of the sheet without setting it for each workbook you have and for new ones opened?
Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish. To set a footer for each sheet, select a sheet then right-click and "select all sheets". Enter your footer on the active sheet and will be done to all. Ungroup sheets when done. File>Save As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your workbook "BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT. Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........ C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART This will be the default workbook for File>New or the Toolbar button File>New or CTRL + n WARNING................Do not use File>New...Blank Workbook or you will get the Excel default workbook. NOTE: Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings. You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes the default Insert>Sheet. More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes). Alternative for existing workbooks could be a macro. Sub Path_All_Sheets() Set wkbktodo = ActiveWorkbook For Each ws In wkbktodo.Worksheets ws.PageSetup.RightFooter = ActiveWorkbook.FullName & " " & Chr(13) _ & Application.UserName & " " & Date Next End Sub Edit to suit Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Thu, 22 May 2008 07:31:01 -0700, philinfla wrote: >Is there a way to set a global footer for all workbooks to print the filename >and extention at the bottom of the sheet without setting it for each workbook >you have and for new ones opened?
