Question about freezing cells
My Excel skills aren't the best. I can do some real basic things but because
I don't do a lot with Excel, I still need help. Is there a way to freeze both a row and a column at the same time? We use Excel 2000 at work to keep track of available accrued STD (short-term disability). The employees names are in the first column and the pay period is about row 6. I would like to be able to freeze the worksheet so that I can still see the employee name and the pay period date without hiding columns. (Sometimes you need to see when the employee used some of that time.) I know I can do a split screen but my co-workers know less about Excel than I do. (They think I'm a computer goddess. Ha ha ha ha! Shhhhhhh!) I'm afraid that might throw them off. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] |

Thank you adding that clarification. We certainly don't need any more people
standing outside of our living room windows than we already have. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... But being a lurker is a good thing!
