synonyms - are "header" and "heading" interchangable in the context of "information at the top of something"?


In the following contexts, are header and heading interchangable or is one preferred/correct over the other ?




  • the top of a column in an Excel spreadsheet

  • the top of an email message (To: CC: BC:)

  • the top of a web browser where the address of a website is shown


According to Merriam-Webster,


header



5b - information (such as a page number) printed or placed at the top of each page of a document (as opposed to footer)



heading




1a - something that forms or serves as a head especially : an inscription, headline, or title standing at the top or beginning (as of a letter or chapter)



Unfortunately, most dictionaries do not have a definition, for either word, for these contexts.
