Freeze a Row in Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel 2010 can freeze, or lock, a top row as you
scroll down the worksheet.
For example, you may need to keep the top row of column
titles visible at all times.
The "View" tab on the command ribbon contains the
"Freeze Panes" button in the "Window" group.
A single row or a range of rows can lock through the
"Freeze Top Row" or "Freeze Panes" options.
Open the Excel worksheet.
Click the top row heading.
The row heading displays a number just left of the first
column of cells. The selected row appears shaded.
Click the "View" tab on the command ribbon.
Click the "Freeze Panes" button in the
"Window" group.
A list of options appears.
Click the "Freeze Top Row" option.
A black horizontal line appears on the worksheet.
This line indicates the locked row that stays on the screen
as you scroll down the worksheet.
