How do I change column labels from numbers to letters?

I'm using Office 2003. Excel column labels used to be letters A-B-C etc, but
somehow got changed so both rows & columns have number labels. I would like
to go back to letters for column names, but haven't been able to find out how
to make the switch.

Gregg, tools, options, general, uncheck R1C1 reference style
