I need to add a title and date to the top of my spreadsheet, but not in the actual spreadsheet.
How can I do that?
Do you mean a Calc spreadsheet or a table in Writer? In the latter case, you can either just write before the table or use Insert → Caption and select to insert it at the “top.” Please, edit your question to add more information.
I found that I could use a header at the top of the spreadsheet, setting the font and adding a date. Fairly simple.
