It is not a cell. It is the intersection of the column and row headers.
I do not think it has a simple name. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "showsomeidnow" wrote in message ups.com... ...does anybody know what it's called? |

I call it the "select all" button--but nobody understands what I'm talking
about. If you're trying to tell someone to select all the cells (over the phone??), you may want to suggest using ctrl-a. And depending on the version of excel, you may need to tell them to hit it a few times (its behavior changed through the versions). showsomeidnow wrote: ...does anybody know what it's called? -- Dave Peterson |

I wasn't sure if it was BillG or me who came up with that term. We discussed
lots of things in that meeting. <vbg Debra Dalgleish wrote: Microsoft calls it the Select All button too: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...CH100648141033 There's a picture in the 'Change the column width to fit the contents' section.
