Hi,

Do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, click the General Tab
3. Click to slect the R1C1 Refernce Style check box
4. Click Ok to return to active worksheet. Now the column heading have
changed to ABCDEFG and so on.

How do I get it to show the letters again please?
