  1. Ctrl + A (Select all),
  2. Ctrl + 1 (Format Cells),
  3. Select Text from the Category column and press OK.

But if you set all cells to Text formatting you lose the ability to enter formulas, in which case you might as well be using a table in Microsoft Word.

Here're the official Microsoft instructions on how to start Excel with a specific workbook template. You need to review the last section called "Save workbook settings you want to use every time you start Excel with a workbook template (book.xlt)".

Use Mike Fitzpatrick's instructions to create the styling template.

You could also change Personal.XLSX because Excel will use it by default for any new workbook – JMax – 2012-01-03T07:46:14.527

The question is about Excel 2003. – dnbrv – 2012-01-03T12:04:37.827

Damn! but my comment is still worth it with the Personal.xls – JMax – 2012-01-03T12:52:43.320
