If you use Tables, names of the columns then appears in place of the sheet column number (normally represented by a strange sequence of letters so there is much scope for improvement)

I need the top row to be fixed. I keep all my macro buttons on the top row and do not want ANY lines shown unless I activate them myself. If I can't hide the line, how can I change the line color? Regarding the macro buttons, I set the button to "Don't move or size with cells", but when I scroll the page the button moves.
