MS Office Forum / Excel / Setup / November 2006R1C1 - how can I permanently undo this setting in Excel?
Despite changing the setting under Options/General where I uncheck the box "R1C1" every time I open Excel, it does not seem to store my setting permanently. How can I permanently undo this setting so that I work in "A1" mode? Thankx Sheila Excel picks up this setting from the first workbook you open in that session. If you're unlucky enough that your first workbook opened is in R1C1 reference style, you'll have to make the change. Do you save the workbook after you make the change to A1 reference style? Do you have a coworker who likes R1C1 and saves it that way?

I found a file called "personal.xls" in that folder (not book.xlt) and I opened it and then made the change and saved it and my problem is solved!!!! You pointed me in the right direction and I thank you for that. Cheers Sheila > Could it be that you have the workbook template setup in R1C1, it is > Book.xlt in the XLStart directory.

I had this problem on Office 2003 and after completely un-installing that version and then doing a brand new install of Office 2007 beta release 2, I have the same problem. This kinda tells me that this setting is held in some kind of profile file or such like 'cos like I say I completely un-installed Office 2003. I am the only user of these worksheets as I'm saving them on my own laptop. If I just launch Excel and do nothing else other than change that setting and then close out of Excel I stil have the problem when I come back in. I appreciate your suggestions.
