Complete Excel noob here -
If I've defined a custom view in one workbook, how can I apply it to
another. It is not shown in the list.
What I want to do:
I have a workbook with columnar data similar to a check register. I have set
up the formatting for display and print formatting, including headers &
footers. This data is for a specific client but I want to save that
formatting, both visual and print so that I can create new workbooks for
other clients and apply the same formatting. I thought that by saving the
custom view it would work but it is not seen outside of the workbook in
which I created it.
It's probably obvious but I just can't see the solution.
I was reading up on Styles & Templates but that doesn't seem to include the
print formatting or have I misread the help?
Thanx,
Vic Baron

Open a new workbook.
Format as you wish for display and for print setup, including headers/footers.
Build Custom Views if you like at this point.
Wheh happy with your formatting.........................
