Add a title to your spreadsheet to clarify its contents and for better visual effect. To insert a title in a Microsoft Office Excel 2013 spreadsheet, add a header to the document. The header can also contain predefined information, such as page numbers, pictures and dates. Note that headers are printed when you print the spreadsheet. If you decide you don't need the header, you can remove it at any time.
