select your cell or range
click on the arrow that is to the left of the formula box
when the box is highlited type in a one word name and then press enter
When you want to refer to that named cell any where in the workbook al
you have to do is refer to it ex: =namedcell, you can use it in dat
validations, and in vba codes
this site explains names a lot better than I can
