OS/2

Problem:

How can I permanently change my default Helv 10 font in Excel for OS/2 to a different font?

Response:

You cannot change the default font permanently in Excel for OS/2. There is no information file that can be changed (such as a WIN.INI for Excel for Windows). A possible workaround is to create an Auto_open macro to change the default font to a more desirable font for each spreadsheet. Auto_open macros are discussed in the “Microsoft Excel Functions and Macros” manual on Pages 193-195.
