Applescript to Freeze certain Header Rows and Columns for open Numbers doc Is there a way to write an AppleScript that I can run each time I open a Numbers file so that I can quickly freeze Header Row 1 and Header Column 3? I have to do this repeatedly, so I'd like a way to automate it. Thanks!

No. AppleScript dialogs are single-threaded and block until a user clicks a button on them. No concurrent dialog feature exists in AppleScript.
