To freeze Row 1 and Column A, select (click in) cell B2. The select Window Freeze. The general case: everything above and to the left of the cell you've selected will be frozen. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

On the top of the scroll bar, just above the up arrow, you should see a dark line. Place the mouse pointer on this and the pointer changes to a double headed arrow. Right click and hold to move where you want the separation. For columns the line in on the right end of the lower scroll bar.

At the top select/deselect Tips. Unfortunately that kind of defeats the object. I want the pop ups because they do help explain the menu option. I just don't want the little buggers obscuring the actual menu items. I've tried dragging them off to the side and it just doesn't work, so I was curious as to whether or not there was an option to reposition them. Oh well. HTH It did, thanks.

Something new every day :-) Except on my copy ^F throws up the search and replace dialogue (3.2.0 on ubuntu 10.04) But there's an alternative. At the top of the vertical scroll bar there's a thick line. Grab this and drag down to split the screen into two independently scrollable regions. Similarly for the horizontal scroll. This too can effectively freeze part of the display.

Something new every day :-) Except on my copy ^F throws up the search and replace dialogue (3.2.0 on ubuntu 10.04) You are right [Ctrl]+[F] is find. [Alt] [W] [F] is the correct keyboard shortcut for this. Alt is not held like a shift key here. These three keys are tapped one at a time. All menu options are available via the Alt key and the underlined letters. My favourite on a hundred+ page thesis is Dutch Elm disease - [Alt] [E] [L] [M]. Though on some versions of OO.o it was the eating disorder - [Alt] [E] [A] [T]. Of course after the screams settle down [Ctrl]+[Z] fixes things. But there's an alternative.
