Default Copying & Dragging Cells & Keeping Rows On all Screens

I am using Excel 2003 Sp 3 and Windows XP.

I have a column Named Year Revised in which I place the year of
revision for the item described on the row. This column has a format
of General. The data in this column will either be blank or contain a
year as yyyy. Many times when entering data on a new row I select the
cells in the previous that have the same values and drag them down to
insert in my row. My problem is that the data in the year revised cell
will be incremented by 1. How do I prevent this?

A second question concerns header rows. How do I fix row 2, which has
my column headings, so that it is at the top of my screen always? I
need this so I know what the contents of the various columns are.

Thanks for any and all help.

Right-click and drag. Release button and "Copy Cells".

Select A2 and WindowFreeze Panes.
