Office Button (Top left of application)>Excel options>Formulas>working
with formulas section>R1C1 reference style (checked)
I assume there's also an OK button (or maybe APPLY)?
So, that's 6 steps. Currently (Excel XP) it takes 5 steps. Also, I don't
think I'd necessarily associate column headers with Formulas>working with
formulas as my first choice!
