Description
No VBA macros are required. "xlreset" is a CLI tool that resets the display state of all sheets to a clean, standard configuration. It eliminates the need for modifyingxlsm files, dealing with "Enable Content" warnings, or requiring manual adjustments by the recipient. With a single command, it resets the active cell to A1, the scroll position to the top-left, and the zoom level to 100% across all sheets in the workbook, restoring the entire file to a neat and consistent state.
