Those buttons are in what is called a “ribbon.” To find out what each button does, just hover your mouse over a button, and a little box, called a “Tool Tip”, will appear and very briefly explain what it does. Read the explanation quickly, because the tool tips disappear after a few seconds. If that happens, just move your cursor over and around the button slowly and the tool tip will reappear.ħ. If that happens, your cursor will appear in a section called “Header” at the top of your spreadsheet. That is where you can enter whatever you want in your header. Also look up at the top of the window and you will see a new menu called “Header & Footer” with buttons for actions you can take to help create the header you want.Ħ. One of them might read “Header or footer”. If you click on that Excel will take immediate action to have you create a header for your spreadsheet.ĥ. Once you do that a menu will drop down with about six items.Ĥ. Click in that field or icon and you can type something like, “create a header”.ģ. In the Excel application window header (that’s the very top of the Excel window ABOVE the File, Home, Insert…menu items. Mine is colored green as yours’s probably is also) is either a magnifying glass icon, a search box or something regarding help. It might say “Tell me more…”.Ģ. Goto step 5 in Method 2 and continue from there.ġ. Click the one labeled “Page Layout”. The “view” of your spreadsheet will change to display a header at the top of your spreadsheet. It will actually read “Add header”. Click on top of the “Add header” message and you are now in your header.Ĥ. You should notice four buttons on the left side of the View Ribbon.ģ. Click the “View” menu at the top of your Excel Window, and a ribbon associated with different views of your file appear.Ģ. Note: When I just say “click”, I mean one left click of the mouse.ġ.
