> Please note that it *wasn't* me, Epinn, saying "do it yourself." I was quoting *part* of Dave's post in the thread (click link to see the entire thread). If you want me to interpret Dave's suggestion, I say mine will be similar to yours i.e. create a column of consecutive row numbers using ROW() and don't check "row and column headings" box under the sheet tab. I guess when you said "headers and footers" you actually meant "row and column headings?"
