How can I change worksheet background colour
Not without creating a Template for new workbooks.
Before you do that, have you thought of simply using CRTL + a to select all cells and change the background? But, here's how to create a Template for all new workbooks and sheets. Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish.........group the sheets before setup so's all sheets get same settings. 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 WARNING................Do not use FileNew...Blank Workbook or you will get the Excel default workbook. 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). Instructions are for Excel 2003 and earlier. 2007 is similar except you would save as BOOK.xltx and SHEET.xltx New File Icon or CTRL + n in 2007.
