How do I format page breaks and normal view as defaults

Every time I create a new worksheet, I have to manually change the
view to Normal and go into preferences and unclick page breaks. How
can I set up excel so this is my default?

Take a look at the "default workbook template" topic in XL Help.

Essentially:

create a workbook with the view and formatting that you want, save it
*as a template* with the filename "Workbook" (no quotes, no extension)
in the Startup folder.

By default the startup folder is

HD:Applications:Microsoft Office 2004:Office:Startup:Excel

though you can assign a different folder in Preferences/General.
