Default Default cell alignment in Excel

I always want to have cell contents aligned at the top of the cell. The
default is to align them at the bottom. How do I change this so I don't have
to change the alignment for each worksheet?

Default Default cell alignment in Excel

You can change the default workbook that Excel uses.

Instructions for 2003 version..............2007 is similar except for file
type..............XLTX

Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish.

FileSave As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name
your workbook "BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as
BOOK.XLT.

Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

This will be the default workbook for FileNew or the Toolbar button
FileNew or CTRL + n

NOTE: Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.

You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default InsertSheet.

More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).
