Helpful Hints
	So you are working in Microsoft Excel on a rather lengthy spreadsheet and every time you scroll down, you can’t see the name of the columns. By FREEZING the names of the columns in place, you can always see the name of a column no matter how far you scroll down. How to FREEZE column names: Click the row of cells directly under the column titles. Click the WINDOW menu and then FREEZE PANES. (It’s simple to undo this, just click the WINDOW menu and UNFREEZE PANES.)
