Yeh. I understand the problem. I have started using a row of cells with labels like C1=Costs, etc. Other wise the cells next to the ones with symbolic names are splattered all over the place and hard to find when you need them. Plus they take up visual real estate that is better used other ways. > Like, imagine a cell's label and value were integral, but that you > could see the label as well as the value at the same time.

As it is, at least in Calc, you can see the lable at the top left when you put the cursor on the cell. > Quick! To the patent office! He,he. Yassuh, a penny from every spreadsheet in the world.
