Unhide a column

[Greg T. Erdman]

For whatever reason I cannot unhide a column in Excel 2000 after I have
hidden it. I follow the instructions...........protection is turned
off.....I select the columns on either side of the hidden column by holding
control and selecting each column..........I right click after they are
selected and there is no unhide option......so I go to the format
menu...............select column and unhide and nothing happens.

Any help here?????

Thanx

Greg

Maybe the column is still there but very narrow.....only one pixel width?
Have you tried to just move through the cells from left to right?
If the column is hidden you won't be able to select the cell.

You need to select the one on the left, then hold down shift and select the
one on the right.

Or, using the mouse select the one on the left, hold the left mouse button
down and slide over to the one on the right.

Do this using the labels at the top.

So you want to extend the selection to the right so the hidden column is
included.

Now right click and select unhide

another thing to try is using f5 (goto) to goto c5. Then widen the column
