Hi,

Is there any way to change the default filename in excel 2003?

ie. a blank file is opened and called: "Book X.xls"

Whereas, I want all files to be called: Finance_Planning_X.xls"

This way, I can save time by automatically having my file naming
convention built into Excel, and I won't have to remember it going
forward.

Thanks!

Chris
 
About the best you can do would be to create a Template(*.XLT) and use that
as your default workbook.

Open new workbook. Do any customizing you may need.

File>Save As>File Type>Template(*.xlt)

Name it Finance_Planning

Close it out.

File>New...Templates on my Computer.

Open Finance_Planning and you will get workbook named Finance_Planning1

Next time will increase to Finance_Planning2
