Thanks for the tip MarvinP but I didn't explain myself well enough. I know about the freeze frame, love it and use it! However my question pertains to clicking and dragging the scroll bar on the right hand edge of worksheet. A small yellow window appears that shows the row you would be on if you release the mouse button, but the actual spreadsheet rows do not change until you release the button (try it on your worksheet, hopefully yours behaves that same as mine). I was asking if I could somehow change the readout in that small yellow box to reflect contents of a column (assuming column A) so I could watch the alphabetical contents flash by as I drag the scroll bar button instead of just row numbers. Did that clarify my intentions?
