To Freeze Column and Row Titles
Freezing worksheet titles is a useful technique for viewing large worksheets that extend beyond the window.
Normally, when you scroll down or to the right, the column titles in row 12 and the row titles in column A that
defi ne the numbers no longer appear on the screen. This makes it diffi cult to remember what the numbers in these
rows and columns represent. To alleviate this problem, Excel allows you to freeze the titles, so that Excel displays
the titles on the screen, no matter how far down or to the right you scroll.
The steps on the following page use the Freeze Panes button (View tab | Window group) to freeze the work-
sheet title and column titles in rows 10, 11, and 12, and the row titles in column A.
