This tip applies to Excel 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003
Often it is helpful to repeat a certain number of rows at the top of the your worksheet printout, or a certain number of columns at the left of the printout. This is particularly useful if you are using the rows or columns as titles for the information in your worksheet. To set print titles, follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Sheet tab of the Page Setup dialog box.
When specifying rows or columns in steps 4 and 5, you only need to provide the row or column names (such as $1:$3 or $A:$B); actual cell coordinates are not acceptable. You can also use the mouse to specify the columns or rows to be used. First click your mouse in the field you want to set and then select the rows or columns you want repeated.
You should note that titles are not started until they are actually encountered when printing. Thus, if you select titles that would appear on page 3 of your printout, they will not begin repeating until page 4 is printed.

Sir,
I required to apply print title option to certain pages only in a excel sheet, for example, If I have 10 pages of data in a excel sheet, I want to apply print tile option for 1-7 pages only remaining 3 pages I don't want to apply the print title option. I hope you will give the solution to my question. Sorry, if I could not explain my problem promptly.
Thank you sir.

I want titles to be printed only on the first 3 pages of my document not on subsequent pages. How can I achieve this in Excel. Waiting for a quick response.
Thank you.
Got a version of Excel that uses the menu interface (Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, or Excel 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
