Are the "page setup" layout settings overwritten by page preview adjustments ?

I setup a page layout in menu

File->page setup.

As far as I know these settings are stored in the document itself.

Now I call menu

File->page preview

and click on the preview window the button "setup..."

If I change now these settings (again): Are these changes temporary or
are they saved permanently in the document resp. are the old settings
overwritten?

In Word, it doesn't matter if you click the Page Setup menu item or the Page
Setup toolbar button; you still get the same dialog box. The settings apply
to the current document, unless you click the Default button, in which case
they will be transferred to the attached template.

I Couldn't find the default button as suggested by Terry, perhaps this is
because I'm using excel 2003. If you are using 2003 You can create a default
template which will store your preferred settings for all future documents.

Open a blank workbook, make your changes to settings as required (e.g., page
size, margins, etc.) and save the workbook as a workbook template (book.xlt)
into the XLSTART directory, usually c:\program files\microsoft office\office
11\xlstart
(You will need to exit excel and start it again in order for the changes to
be picked up). Any new workbooks you create will pick up the settings saved
in this template.
 
This is a Word newsgroup, so the for a definitive answer to your question,
post it in the Excel newsgroup.
