    You can right-click the file in File Explorer (on Windows) or in Finder (on Mac). If you already have Excel open, go to File > Open and select the file you want to open.

    You'll see this in the "Page Setup" grouping with an icon of an Excel sheet and a printer.
    • If that's greyed out, you might be actively editing a cell (check to see if your cursor is in a cell) or you might not have a printer connected to your computer.

    Make sure you're in the Sheets tab if you don't see "Rows to repeat at top" and "Columns to repeat at left."
    • For example, if you want to repeat the first row, enter "$1:$1." [1]
    • You can also click the header of the row to select it.

    Make sure you're in the Sheets tab if you don't see "Rows to repeat at top" and "Columns to repeat at left."
    • You can also click the header of the column to select it, like "$A:$A" to freeze column A.
