Default Names

Goto Insert - Names, Define.

You can now manage your named ranges, deleting your old values. You can use
absolute references to allow the named range to be in a column, but have a
relative row reference. For instance, define "tax" as
=$H66
Remember to click "add" after you setup the name and what it refers to.

I decided to simplify a spreadsheet by naming some columns, but messed
up and only named the particular cells I was working on.

I tried to create a new range with the same name, but was told that
the name already existed.

1. How do I delete that old name?
2. Can I give a name to a column without giving that column a range?
3. If so, how do I replace, say =IF(H660,F66-I66-K66-H66,"") with
meaningful names, for instance net=gross-labor-depreciation-tax? (each
field is referenced multiple places for that row).
