  Question
  I've tried highlighting the row I would like to freeze, usually just the
first row, but it always freezes it after the 16th row. Any suggestions!?
This is really frustrating!

  The rule for freezing panes is.....

Columns to left of and rows above the selected cell will be frozen.

Do not select row 1 to freeze row 1. As you have seen, it will freeze panes
in mid-window.

Select A2 to freeze row 1

Select B2 to freeze row 1 and column A

  *NEVER* invoke "Freeze Panes" when the cell in the "A1 Position" is
selected.

Picture a newly opened sheet.
The top, left cell is A1.

Click in A6, then,
<Window> <Freeze Panes>

You'll see that rows 1 to 5 are frozen ... all well and good!

Now, unfreeze them:
<Window> <Unfreeze Panes>

Click in A6.

Using the scroll bar on the right, scroll down 5 rows so that A6 is in the
"A1 Position" (top left).

Then:
<Window> <Freeze Panes>

You see what happens?
That's probably your problem.

Unfreeze the panes.

With A6 in the "A1 Position", click in A7, then freeze panes.
All should be OK now, *BUT* you'll notice that you *can't* display above Row
6.

This is a good procedure to keep headers and/or logos hidden so that more
screen real estate can be utilized,
And at the same time, *allows* these rows to still print (truly hidden rows
*don't* print).

Don't forget ... *never* invoke Freeze Panes when the cell in the A1 screen
position is selected!
