This is a friendly reminder to all of you that Daylight-Saving Time is upon us.

Then, instead of starting with Excel's default workbook, each new workbook will already contain any formatting that's unique to your needs. Creating a template is a four-step process. First, open a blank workbook and enter any formatting or content that you want to include in every new workbook. Save the workbook as a template by selecting File, Save As. Then, choose Template (*.xlt) from the Save As Type list. Excel will change the default directory to the Office Templates folder. You don't want to save your template here. Instead, save the workbook in the XLStart directory. Usually, this folder is at C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeXlStart. Once you've located the directory in the Save In control, enter the name book (book.xlt) and click Save. After you've completed the above process, Excel will open the workbook you formatted as the default workbook.

Did you know daylight saving time will begin next Sunday? It will end the first Sunday in November. Mark your calendars now. And read the rest of the story here.[US Representative Edward J.] Markey convinced Congress the change would save energy because Americans would not need as many lights in the evening. In 2005, he struck again, tucking a monthlong extension into a massive energy bill that took effect this year. In addition to moving the start of daylight saving time to the second Sunday in March, the law pushes the end back a week, to the first Sunday in November.
