in Excel Freeze Column Header option has disappeared.

Gregory,

Is you question one with regard to the Numbers application (which is part of the iWork office suite from Apple)? or is it truly specific to MS Excel. If Excel I would direct you to post your question on the Microsoft forums that support Excel as this forum is specifically for Numbers.

"Funny that the "Help" file had no mention of the view affecting this option!"

Here's the title and paragraph 1 from the article on this topic in Chapter 3, Using Tables , of the Numbers '09 User Guide:

Freezing Table Header Rows and Header Columns

When you’re not in Print View (which repeats header rows and columns on each page),

you can keep headers visible as you scroll through the document by using the freeze

option.

The searchable pdf guide can be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers '09.

Regards,

Barry

Hi Gregory,

Hoping to give you a break in future by providing that information.

I wouldn't go to "using tables" as a topic either. My search string in the user guide was 'freeze'

That produced the list of hits below (and displayed the guide page for the first hit).

From there, a single click (either on one of the multiple hits on page 61, or on the "To learn how to ... Go to" table entry on the guide page displayed) brought me to the paragraph shown in my previous post.

Compared to (at least the early editions of) Help, the User Guide is a gem, in terms of readability and searchability. I recommend the first few chapters as a sit down and read all the way through to new and experienced Numbers users, and the rest of the guide as a go to when needed resource.

(Page numbers in the current edition my differ from those above—I've kept the version downloaded shortly after buying iWork '09 in the retail box edition.)

Regards,

Barry
