How do I change the name of the columns and Rows on Excel spread sheets?

Question

On an Excel spread sheet all the columns are named by Letters and I would like to change them to names, how do I do that?

Answer 1

In Excel 2003 go to Tools>options>view and remove the check from row and columns headers. Now you have a sheet without the numbers and letters. Put in your names, shade them if you want and the sheet should look like you want.

Answer 2

That cannot be done.  Your options are either letters or numbers.  The best you can do is to make the first row your headings.
