The behaviour hasn't changed -- in Excel 97 and Excel 2002 I can type
over the items in row or column headings, and type over the names in
field buttons. These remain changed when the pivot table is refreshed.

In all earlier versions of Excel, pivottable page, row, & column elements could
not be changed...now, in 2003, we find that the text of an item can be over
typed,
retained, and not returned to it's original form during a refresh. This seems
a little odd.

Is this a new 'feature' or just a new bug?
