How do you lock or freeze one top row in an excel spreadsheet?

Question

I have a mac and use microsoft excel 2004 mac version. I have tried clicking "freeze panes" from "window" but it freezes half the page and the line can not be moved. I just want to freeze the top row and nothing else

Answer 1

Highlight the whole row under the one you want to freeze, then select freeze pane.

Answer 2

Go to the first field in excel that you want to freeze on in column A and select the field just below where you want the window to freeze. Then go to the window menu and select freeze panes.  Hope this helps.
