The table that I have generated in Excell is much larger than the screen and
when I scroll to the right side, the columns to the left disappear, which I
looking to keep the first column in place.
Could anyone tell me how to make the first column to the laft not to goes
out of screen while I scroll to the rest of the table to the right.
Thanks,
 
In Excel 07:
Go to View, click Freeze Panes, click Freeze First Column

In Excel 03:
Click Column A to select the whole column, click on Windows, and click on
Freeze Panes.

Hope this helps :)
 
No, I don't have the 03 version.
I know 97 has this option as well, and I used it in the past, but I have
forgotten how it was.
 
Toast's suggestion is incorrect.

Select B1 to freeze column A

Select B2 to freeze column A and row 1

This is for Excel 97 through 2003

Perhaps you missed the part where I said:
"> If you wish to freeze the top 2 rows and the left hand two columns,
select
cell C3, then go to the Window menu and select "Freeze Panes".
In general, select the cell below the rows you wish to freeze, and to the
right of the columns you wish to freeze, then go to the Window menu and
select "Freeze Panes"." ?
Click to expand...

Are you trying to tell us that in your Excel 97 you can't find the Window
menu, or that on the Window menu you can't see the menu item "Freeze Panes"?

You can find a screen grab of the Excel 97 menus at
http://www.ngfl.ac.uk/resources/excel/excelpage3.pdf and at

That's exactly correct. What I'm trying to tell you is that in Excel 97 I
can't find the Window menu, or that on the Window menu I can't see the menu
item "Freeze Panes".
