I should add my other hot-button issue.
I contend that every cell on a worksheet is either ...
o Unused (Normal)
o An Input (numbers or text entered manually)
o Data produced by Code (which may be input to formulas)
o A Label (descriptive of the data at right or below, and never used in a formula)
o A Formula
o Cells that must be empty or zero-filled for other formulas to work correctly (DoNotUse)
o A Remark
My template has styles by those exact names, and nothing else (well, hyperlink and followed hyperlink).

Code and DoNotUse don't appear correctly above; Code has a gray horizontal pattern, and DoNotUse has a crosshatch. Each styles include only the formatting elements necessary.
Excel's default 99 other styles are nowhere in sight.

See I never would have thought of that! I should have come here to ask questions sooner!
