If you want to get rid of that line, position your cursor in the cell
B2.  Then go to Window and select Unfreeze Panes.  If Unfreeze Panes
isn't in Window, look for it in the other menus.

You can't select the row numbers (not the number column), thereby
selecting the whole row?  Huh.

I discovered that I could open Eloise's document from Excel 2000 but
not Excel XP.  Beats me why.  Excel XP couldn't recognize it as an
Excel doc.  I had to save it out in Excel 2000 and resave it as a
native Excel doc, then mail it to my home computer (which runs XP)
before I could open it.

Microsoft is our friend.
