I'm using Excel 2000 on a Windows XP SP2 computer.  I have created a
simple spreadsheet, with lots of data regarding my exercise routine on a
treadmill. There are several headings at the top of the page, such as
minutes, miles, calories, and comments . So far, the spreadsheet is about 3
pages in length.  How do I configure this Excel document so that those
headings are always at the top of the page, even if I'm on the 2nd or 3rd
page?

    I did some searching on the Internet and came up with this:

<<This URL has a solution:

icrosoft-excel/

And I found these steps: Highlight the row under the row that you want to
remain on top and go to Windows, Freeze Panes.>>

     However, I cannot make this formatting PERMANENT.  Everytime I reopen
the Excel spreadsheet, the frozen headers are unfrozen.
