another Q - "moving" table

[Heshe]

I've seen this on a file once but I dont know how it was achieved.

Let's say i have a huge table, about 30 columns, 1000 rows.
The top row gives the characteristics, and the "leftest" column give
whose characteristics are those; like:

John Jack whoever
height
weight
whatever

since the table is quite big, when you're in the middle, its ver
uncomfortable to fill it since you have already successfully forgotte
which column was for John and which was for Jack and so on.
So I wanted to make it such, that the inner part of the table can mov
as i scroll down or right... so that as if it goes under the firs
column or the top row.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Heshe,

Select the first data cell, that is not top or leftish, and then in menu
Windows>Freeze Panes you'll get what you want.

Select A2 to have row 1 frozen when you select Window>Freeze Panes.

The rule for freezing panes is: everything above and to the left of the
selected cell will stay in view as you scroll right and/or down.
