    Template worksheet stored in XLSTART creates excess worksheets

    I am working with Windows Microsoft Office Excel 2007 on Windows home premium V6.1 service pack 1. To personalize my worksheets , I created a worksheet called sheet.xltx (no macros) which I stored in Program Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office/Office 12/XLSTART. When I click Insert Worksheet three sheets appear named sheet1(2), sheet2(2), sheet3(2) of which sheet1(2) is the template I created with the other two being standard blank sheets. My dilemma is I only want to insert my template and no other sheets when I click the Insert Workbook.
    I do not know if this is important to my question but when I start Excel I get a box that asks - If I want to allow the program to make changes to this computer. After answering yes the standard 3 sheet workbook appears.

    Re: Template worksheet stored in XLSTART creates excess worksheets

    Hi denjoe

    I believe that he number of sheets is controlled in:
    File > Options > General > When creating new workbooks > Include this many sheets

    Hope this helps

    Regards

    Thanks Alastair - sadly I never thought to check the options pull down , figured it was much more complicated.
