column headings

[Ruth]

I want to change the column headings from A, B, C ....etc.
to different words like "date", and "location". How do I
do this??

You can change them to letters or numbers or hide them, but you can't change
them to words.

Maybe you could hide them (Tools|options|view tab|uncheck Row & column headers)
and make your own.

But I just show the regular headers and put my headers in row 1. Most people
who use excel expect to see things like this.
