scalable headings in Microsoft Excel when editing long formulas
 

I use Excel a lot (2000 and 2003) and frequently create long formulas which
have 4 or more rows. When I have the size of my workbook maximized, these
formulas hide my column headings (A,B,C,etc.). When formulas become more
than 1 row, the size of the maximized window should always modify so that a
user can always see the column references while editing. Is there a way to
do this without constantly having to re-size my active workbook window (i.e.
taking it off maximized)? It is so aggravating ...

scalable headings in Microsoft Excel when editing long formulas
 

Have you considered breaking the formulas down into smaller formulas in
different cells and Consolidating (for lack of a better term) into the
original cell. Or is that not feasible?

It would probably require a substantial reworking of the layout of the
workbook sheets to accomodate that but it is a possibility. I guess I would
rather have Microsoft add the maximized scalability into future versions - I
am sure there must be lots of users who run into the same problem.
