Try this:

Select the 1st cell under and to the right of the rows/columns you want to
always display.

From the Excel main menu:
<window<freeze panes

Note: to unfreeze the panes <window<unfreeze panes

Example:
Select cell C3
<window<freeze panes
Now columns A and B, and rows 1 and 2 will always be visible as you scroll.

Does that help?
