Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Excel versions: 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. If you are using an earlier version (Excel 2003 or earlier), this tip may not work for you.

Often it is helpful to repeat a certain number of rows at the top of 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 5 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.

Amy,
If your chart is on a separate page, print pages 1-4 with titles then clear the titles & print the chart page.

Is there a way to repeat titles on certain pages? For example if I have a spreadsheet that is 4 pages long and I want the title to print on those, but my fifth sheet is a chart and I do not want the title to repeat on that page.
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
