Header information

Postby mike8921 on Wed Jan 09, 2008 11:21 am

Can I place data in the header of a document that relates to the calculation information in the document?

For instance, I might have a spread sheet 5 pages long that is full of calculations. I want to check how a couple of key variables affect the calculations. Can these key variables be placed in the header or footer so that I am reminded which variables have changed on any given sheet of a printout?

Or could I input header information in the worksheet (like user information, project, date etc.) so that it is automatically placed in the header? Usually the header doesn't get updated until after a document has been printed several times since it isn't visible as part of the working document.

Like a freeze pane?

Yes, either a freeze pane like excel has for column headings or actual use of the header function in MathCAD.

You could try the following. Use two worksheets. One could be a pop worksheet which references the 5 page work sheet. I have had the same issues at times. YOu may give it a try. I am going to give it a try.

I was going to say that that might be the only way to do that.

I tried using two work sheets and could not get it to work. I did not spend a lot of time working on it.
