Named Cells (Ranges)
 
If I name a cell, and want to change the name, in Excel 2003, there is no
easy way to do it. Do I have to delete the name, and add back a new one?
Very tedious...

You do, unless you Get hold of Jan Karel Pieterse's NameManager utility,

Hi,

Actually you don't need to delete the old range name, just add the new name.
A range can have as many names as you like. Of course that clutters up the
list, but you can come back at some later time and delete unwanted names.

Just to add...

Be careful before you delete the old names. You'll want to change anything that
uses them--formulas, other names, VBA code...

That's one way to slow your workbook down, seeing as the redundant names
will all get recalculated every time.
