Helpme Please

I have been given a spreadsheet to work on that has the column headings
across the top shown as numbers instead of the usual letters (ABCDEFG etc)
How do I get it to show the letters again please?

Why would you want to refernce the headings like that anyway? Would you know?

I guess it's just personal choice and probably something to do with backward
compatibility with Lotus 123. Personally, I wouldn't choose it but I'm sure
are there are lots of people who do.

Hi,

Do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. In the Options dialog box, click the General Tab
3. Click to slect the R1C1 Refernce Style check box
4. Click Ok to return to active worksheet. Now the column heading have
changed to ABCDEFG and so on.
