Color modifications are saved with the workbook that was open at the time.
To have this modification for all NEW workbooks you can create a Template.
Open a new workbook. Customize Views as you wish. File>Save
As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name your workbook
"BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as BOOK.XLT.
Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
This will be the default workbook for File>New or the Toolbar button File>New
Do not use File>New...Blank Workbook or you will get the Excel default workbook.
Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.
You can also open a new workbook and delete all but one sheet. Customize as
you wish then save this as SHEET.XLT in XLSTART folder also. It now becomes
the default Insert>Sheet.
More can be found on this in Help under "templates"(no quotes).
To get the color mods into EXISTING workbooks you can also open a workbook with
the mods and copy that scheme to your other workbook.
Tools>Options>Color>Copy colors from.

I changed one of the colors on the Tools / Options / Color Tab / Standard
Colors. I want to make it permanent but when I exited excel and then the
next time I opened excel the color was changed back. How do I make it
permanent?
Thank you for your help.
