Is there a way to make freeze panes permanent?

I have some spreadsheets where I want the freeze pane option to remain active each time I close and reopen a spreadsheet. Sometimes the freeze pane will remain in effect after I close and reopen a spreadsheet. But, on some spreadsheets it will not and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it permanent on all spreadsheets. Is there a way?

We cannot for the life of us figure out what documents you are using.

hahaha, nice. Libreoffice generated spreadsheets.

If you save the spreadsheet with another application (not LibreOffice), or if you save it in another format (not .ods), the freeze will almost certainly be lost.
