[From the Read Me notes.] "To set the first row (row 1) and the first column (column A) of worksheet information as titles on each page of a printed report, use the Set Titles command in the Window menu. To remove report titles, select Titles from the Show submenu in the Window menu." [page 76, Wingz Reference Manual] "If you wish to disable the titles after setting them, use the Titles command from the Show submenu." >> It seems that the effect is to split the screen at the current cell >> in such a way that you can NEVER AGAIN ACCESS OR CHANGE anything >> above or to the left of that cell.

I think you may be right, although I'm no expert with WingZ. The WingZ program has much to offer and once you learn how to use the many features of WingZ you will be glad you switched. I have used Excel in the past and am now trying to switch over to WingZ and am finding the program to be far more useful then Excel. Hope this helps. Ron Bannon bannon@andromeda.rutgers.edu

>> From an article posted by: kevin@kosman.UUCP (Kevin O'Gorman) WingZ vs. Excel debate. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This will hopefully clarify a previous posting made by me in response to the above. >> You cannot even see anything more than ONE ROW OR COLUMN above or >> left of that point: the titles are constrained to a single cell deep. ** I think you may be right, although I'm no expert with WingZ. Sorry I'm wrong! [From on line help.] "The title area can occupy one or more columns or rows. You can set up both horizontal and vertical title areas. The title area is marked by unbroken grid lines." Hope this helps! Ron Bannon bannon@andromeda.rutgers.edu
