Column headings in Excel

A colleague of mine is working on a spreadsheet set up by someone else and when opening the file the column headings are numerical rather than alphabetical. How can we switch this back to alphabetical.

EG currently the cell that is comunly known as A1 is in row 1 and column 1.

This makes understanding the formulae very difficult.

I hope you can help.

Many thanks
