You can set the freeze point at one row, one column, or both a row and
a column as in Figure 110.
Freezing single rows or columns
1) Click on the header for the row below where you want the freeze
or for the column to the right of where you want the freeze.
2) Choose Window > Freeze.
A dark line appears, indicating where the freeze is put.
Freezing a row and a column
1) Click into the cell that is immediately below the row you want
frozen and immediately to the right of the column you want
frozen.
2) Choose Window > Freeze.
Two lines appear on the screen, a horizontal line above this cell
and a vertical line to the left of this cell. Now as you scroll around
the screen, everything above and to the left of these lines will
remain in view.
Unfreezing
To unfreeze rows or columns, choose Window > Freeze. The check
mark by Freeze will vanish.
Splitting the screen
Another way to change the view is by splitting the window, also known
as splitting the screen. The screen can be split either horizontally or
vertically or both. This allows you to have up to four portions of the
spreadsheet in view at any one time.
Why would you want to do this? Imagine you have a large spreadsheet
and one of the cells has a number in it which is used by three formulas
in other cells. Using the split screen technique, you can position the
cell containing the number in one section and each of the cells with
formulas in the other sections. Then you can change the number in the
cell and watch how it affects each of the formulas.
