Default Change the column designation from a numeric to an alpha

On my version of Excel in Office 2000, the columns are headed in numeric
values, as are the rows. This makes it confusing in entering formulas. Most
versions of the spreadsheet have alpha column designations and numeric row
designations. How can I change it to have columns headed by alpha charcters
and rows by numeric designations?
