[comp.sys.mac] Setting print titles in Excel

jeff@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Jeffrey M White) (06/26/89)

  I'm using the "Set Print Titles" in Excel (currently v1.5) to have the first
line of my document (which is the column titles for my file) print at the top
of every page.  That works fine.  What I'd like to know is if there is an
easy way to suppress it printing twice for the 1st page (once for the
page title, and twice for being a regular line in the file).  I'm sure that
I could probably put that line way at the bottom of the file, set it to be
the print title, and then select the page range when printing to avoid it,
but that's a real hassle, and doesn't allow me to see the titles at the top
of the screen when entering data.
  Any help would be appreciated.

Pretty easy, you may kick yourself (but don't): when you set the
"Print area" (with "Set Print Area", _exclude_ those rows and columns
you have used for your print titles.

I had the same problem--I expect it's fairly common.

Solution--use "Set Print Area" to *not* print the titles--you can still leave
'em at the top of the file, but they won't print.
