Printing Rows or Columns on Every Page
If you have a sheet that is so large that it will be printed multiple pages, you 
can set up rows or columns to repeat on each printed page.
As an example, If you want to print the top two rows of the sheet as well as the 
first column (A)on all pages, do the following:
1. Choose Format - Print Ranges - Edit. The Edit Print Ranges dialogue box 
appears.
2. Click the icon at the far right of the Rows to repeat area.
The dialogue box shrinks so that you can see more of the sheet.
3. Select the first two rows and, for this example, click cell A1 and drag to 
A2.
In the shrunken dialogue box you will see $1:$2. Rows 1 and 2 are now rows to 
repeat.
4. Click the icon at the far right of the Rows to repeat area. The dialogue box 
is restored again.
5. If you also want column A as a column to repeat, click the icon at the far 
right of the Columns to repeat area.
6. Click column A (not in the column header).
7. Click the icon again at the far right of the Columns to repeat area.

Rows to repeat are rows from the sheet. You can define headers and footers to be 
printed on each print page independently of this in Format - Page.

Ahah, i thought this question ambiguous.  It could be about 
1. Printing (neatly solved by Harold Fuchs and something i didn't know.  Excel 
does this in "Page Set-up")
2. Onscreen

For Onscreen just click on any cell then go up to the menus and click on 

Window - Freeze

Then try scrolling up&down or side-to-side to see the effect.  Then unfreeze and 
set the freeze corner exactly where you need it.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
