I need to change the default template Excel uses at start up. I have created the template and saved it as book.xlt in 2 different start up folders.:
C:\Documents and Setting\<user name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart and
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART

Then I closed Excel and reopened, entered data and printed, but the changes I made in the template did not show up.

What am I doing wrong???

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
