Setting General Excel Options

You can customize the performance of many Excel features including its editing, saving, spelling, viewing, printing and security procedures. Each person uses Excel in a different way. Excel Options allows you to change general options to personalize what appears in the Excel window including live previews, toolbars, buttons, ScreenTips, and an Office background or theme (New!).
