renumbering of rows
 

Hello everybody. I have a spreadsheet where row 1 and row 2 I am using
for headers. I have frozen rows 1 and 2 so the header is always
visible when I enter data. I was wondering if there is a way to
renumber the rows so the headers does not contain the numbers 1 and 2.
Any help anybody can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

While you can't change the numbering of the rows, you can get something that
will look almost the same:

1. Click on column A
2. Insert Column
3. Starting at cell A3 and moving on down, enter 1,2,3,4,...

The new column A will be numbered just as you desire.

You could hide the row numbers and use column A to show what you want, but I
wouldn't bother. It'll become a pain when you insert/delete rows and when
you're writing formulas.

Besides, isn't everyone used to seeing those row numbers in excel?
