Excess columns

[Karen]

I have set up my worksheet, but have a tremendous number of columns left
unused. I have tried to delete them, but they don't go away. How can I get
rid of them?

Excel has 256 columns and 65536 rows for your use. You cannot get rid of
them.

You can hide them.


Select those columns you don't want to see and Format>Hide.

Same for rows.

Hi Karen

Select the first column header to the right of your data.
Then Use "Ctrl-Shift-right Arrow" to select all other columns

Right click on the selection and choose Hide
