SUMMARY
In Microsoft Excel, print titles are printed only after the rows or columns containing them are printed. For example, if you select a row or column on the second page of a worksheet to be a print title, the titles are printed only on the third and subsequent pages.

Note that this behavior is different from Microsoft Excel 4.0 and earlier. In earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, print titles appear on every page of the printed output regardless of their location on the worksheet.

MORE INFORMATION
To have a print title appear at the top of every page, position the rows that contain your print titles in the uppermost rows of your print area. Likewise, to have a print title appear at the left of every page, you should have those titles as the leftmost columns of your print area.

Example
To see an example of this behavior, follow these steps:

 Create a new workbook.  In cells A1 through A11 of Sheet1, enter the following data: A1: Apples

A2: Bananas

A3: Carrots

A4: Eggplant

A5: Food

A6: Kudzu

A7: Melon

A8: Orange

A9: Peach

A10: Raspberry

A11: Zucchini  Click the row heading for row 8, and click Page Break on the Insert menu. On the File menu, click Page Setup. Select the Sheet tab. In the Rows To Repeat at Top box, type $5:$5. Then, click Print Preview.

Note that the title "Food" on row 8 appears only at the top of the second page because it precedes the first row displayed on the second page in print preview. In earlier versions of Microsoft Excel, the title "Food" appears at the top of every page.
