Maybe this idea will satisfy what you are trying to do. Look at the
horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of your worksheet. To the very right of
the scroll bar is a small (taller than wide) "button" looking thing. Click
and drag it to the left until a vertical bar appears from top to bottom on
your worksheet. You can release the mouse button as soon as you see the
vertical bar. This splits the worksheet into two sections. You can click
drag the vertical bar wherever you want... drag it to the left so that only
one column shows to the left of it. At the bottom of this single column is a
horizontal scroll bar just for that split off pane... scroll it to the
column you want. Now, click in the "main" part of the worksheet to the right
of the vertical bar and work in it as you normally would. When you scroll
the "main" part of the worksheet, the single column section to the left of
the vertical bar won't move. Does that do what you want?
