Default Naming a group or outline

When a range of cells are grouped/outlined and you can see the +/- symbols,
is it possible to name this group so that the name is visible when the group
is collapsed?

Maybe you could give it a custom view name.

In xl2003, it's under
view|Custom views

Thanks Dave but that didn't work. I wanted the group name to be visible down
the side bar. Maybe it can't be done?

I don't think you can do that.

You could add some buttons from the forms toolbar. And these buttons could have
macros assigned to them that hide/show the stuff you want.

But it wouldn't be the same.

Thanks Dave but that doesn't give me what I'm looking for either. i think
this is one time I'm looking for the impossible. Thanks for your help anyway.
