how to lock a row so that it stays on top when scrolling

I want to create descriptions in row 1 and hen lock that row sothat as i
sroll down in the worksheet row 1 always remains visble atthe top of the
spredsheet.
this was always a simple thing todo in oder spreadsheet aplications by
simply selcting he row and chosing an option such as " lock row ".
no such option exists in excel for xp, so what do I do ?

Click on a cell under the row then>
Windows> Split




or you could also do
