"Fix" Excel column

I have a rather large Excel spreadsheet. What I would like to do is "fix" the leftmost or topmost columns on the screen as I scroll horizonally or vertically.

So, in other words, if I have 10 rows of various accounts with 200 columns each, I want to be able to see which account I am dealing with as I scroll horizontally into column 150.

If you want to fix column A and Row 1 then select Cell B2 and then go to Windows Menu and select Freeze Panes. It'll freeze the first row and the first column of your worksheet.
