Freeze more than one column

[Kim]

I'm new to Excell 2007. What's the trick to freezing columns A+? All I can
see is "freeze first column". Selecting column "C" gets me column "A" frozen.

Thanks for the help............

Say you want to freeze columns A to C.

Select a cell in column D.

Every column to the left of that activecell will be frozen.
Every row above the activecell will be frozen.

Make sure you remove any existing frozen panes first.

Dave,

No joy. When I select D1 (or column D for that matter) the View>Freeze Pane
options are only Freeze Panes (both row and colum), Freeze Row and Freeze
First Column.

Maybe there's an add-in new to 2007.........

Thanks,

KIm

I believe the first option (Freeze Panes) is what you want.

So what happens when, in that situation, you select "Freeze Panes (both row
and colum)" ?
Doesn't it do what Dave says and freeze columns A to C?

Gonna have to look closer at this. Given a blank worksheet, it works as Dave
said. Give MY worksheet selecting col C + freeze pain freezes Column C and
rows 1-3. I have some grouped cells, maybe that's an issue.

My apologizes Dave.............

If you mean merged cells, the general view of the experts on this group is
that they are the spawn of the devil and should be avoided like the plague.
