Deleting unwanted colums on a worksheet

[Guest]

I need to know how to delete unwanted coulums on a worksheet. I remember
being taught this in school 10 years ago but i guess its been pushed out of
my memory after all this time. All the extra colums are slowing down our
programs. any help would be appreciated.

You cannot "delete" columns. Perhaps they are formatted so you should select
all of the unwanted columns by putting the cursor on the column label>hold
the shift key>goto the last to delete>touch the delete key>save.

You may then hide the columns

Thanks for the info!!! however when i try to do this its giving me an error
"Cannot shift objects off sheet". Any suggestions as to what this means???

You should only get that if you were trying to insert columns where there
may be something in the last column.
Use ctrl+end to find the last.
