Hidden Columns won't Unhide

[Dave Birley]

I hid columns A-G, and now I want them back. Nothing I can do seems to return
them. I followed the instructions in the Help File, but they didn't work:

GoTo A1
Format/Column/Unhide

Next instruction is to go to the top and look for the column separator to
change from arrow to -||-. It doesn't, so if the width was zero I can't make
it wider.

Any Ideas?

Try:

Edit|Goto
type:
A:G
then Format|Column|Unhide
and scroll to the left.

If you still can't see those columns, make sure you're not freezing panes:
Window|Unfreeze Panes
(and scroll left)

Select the whole worksheet by clicking the box above the row numbers and to
the left of the column letters. From the menu bar, select Format >> Column >>
Unhide

Hope this helps,

Hutch

Dave, try selecting column H and drag your mouse over to the left, or click
on the square above row 1 to unhide all columns and then format columns
unhide

Oh, organic fertilizer -- thereby hung the tale! However all the responses
are helpful -- all contributing to the learning curve <g>!

Gotta learn to use that Immediate box more. Actually the problem turned out
to be frozen panes (which I, being extremely old, forgot <g>!)
