Configuring Excel 2008 preferences

You can standardize the settings for Excel 2008 in your organization by configuring preferences for the application and then deploying these preferences to users on the network. Excel-specific preferences are stored in the com.microsoft.Excel.plist file. This preference (.plist) file is stored in /Users/username/Library/Preferences.

Important

Use the same administrator account each time that you customize settings so that all preferences are stored in the same folder on the computer. This is especially important if you will be using Workgroup Manager to manage preferences later. Workgroup Manager uses the preference files that are located in the home folder of the administrator who is currently logged in.

To set preferences in Excel 2008, on the Excel menu, click Preferences.

The following sections provide examples of the different types of preferences that you can set in Excel 2008.
