The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Excel for OS/2 versions 2.2, 2.21, and 3.0
There is no way to disable Excel column headings only or row headings
only. Either both can be disabled, or both can be enabled.
If you are missing row headings while column headings remain, an
accidental split has probably occurred. To recover the missing
heading, use one of the following methods.
Using a Mouse
- Move your mouse pointer to the left of the left-pointing arrow on
the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the document window.
- Press and hold down your mouse button, then move the mouse to the
left a few inches. Release the mouse button.
- If the row headings reappear, the document window has been
accidentally split into two parts --- a very narrow one on the left
(which is too narrow to display the row headings) and a wide one on
the right. The pair of vertical lines on the left edge extending
the length of the document window are used to indicate where the
split is located.
Using the Keyboard
- Press ALT+HYPEHN to access the active document's Control menu.
- At the bottom of this menu is the Split command. Press "T" to enter
split mode. The split indicator (a circle with arrows pointing in
each "cardinal" direction) will appear.
- You should see two gray bars centering on the split indicator: one
horizontal, the other vertical. Use the arrow keys, or the HOME key,
to move the indicator to the upper-left corner of the document
window, and press ENTER.
If the document window was accidentally split along the column or row
headings, the headings should now appear normal.
