Good afternoon mate ...

All it takes is ... highlight Column C and go to "Window"
menu and choose Freeze panes, whilst still having column C
highlighted ,if u want to remove just choose unfreeze
panes from same window menu ...

Good day to you !

Hi, could someone please tell me how to 'lock' a column

in an excel
chart? I am using Office XP (2002) on Windows XP Pro SP2.

I downloaded a template from Microsoft called 'Landscape

Plant List',
which is basically a list of plants, along with their

needs &
characteristics. The name of the plant is in column B,

and then multiple
columns to the right of that contain various bits of

information about
the plant specified in that column.

The chart is wider than the screen, so one has to scroll

across to see
the columns on the far right, and when I scroll across

the chart _Column
B, with the plant name in it remains stationary_, and

thus is visible,
all the time.

I'd like to design some excel charts of my own with a

similar 'locked
main-title column' but wherever I've tried looking in

cell or column
properties etc, I can't seem to spot what it is they've

done on the
downloaded template to make it behave like that.
