Automatic Page Breaks  Clear (or Page Breaks)

Formulas               Clear

Row & Column Headers   Selected

Outline Symbols        Selected

Zero Values            Selected



MORE INFORMATION
Window options are saved in each individual workbook. If you save a workbook with the Gridlines option cleared, when you open the workbook, the Gridlines option remains cleared.

Workspace files save the workbooks you have open, including their size, arrangement, and position on the screen. When you open a workspace file, all of your workbooks appear with the same settings they had when you closed them. However, workspace files do not save Window Options settings, so the Window Options settings are displayed with the default settings listed above.

Additionally, split, frozen, or zoomed panes on a worksheet are not always retained in a workspace file.
