You can not change the column headings (except to numbers). However, you can
use your col headings on row 1 and hide the row/column headings. But, they
are still there.

This seems like a simple matter but I cannot find the answer anywhere. I
have
typed my column headings in and they appear along row 1. I don't want the
headings to be row 1 I want row one for entering the first row of data.
How
do I make row 1 truly row 1 and not the column headings. I am not asking
how
to make the row appear across each page, I have that already.
thanks in advance.
