List column header names with the Paste Special command
Microsoft Excel's Paste Special command can transpose a row to a column. Therefore, if you want to view all column names at a glance without scrolling, you can try to transpose the row that contains the column header names to a column.
Step 1: Select the row containing the column header names.
Step 2: Copy this row.
Step 3: In a blank area, right-click, and select the 
Transpose button.
Then you will see all column header names are copied and pasted in a single column. See screenshot:
