Unhiding Column A

I am using Excel 2003 SP2 and I have a spreadsheet with column A
missing. I have followed all the Help Menu advice. I can navigate to
column A and hit Format Column Unhide or Format Column Width, but to no
avail.

It is either hidden or set to zero width, but in any case, it will NOT
show up. I have searched all the group postings, been to Microsoft.com
help (yea, right) and done everything I can think of. Even installed a
macro I found to unhide columns by macro.

Any help would be most appreciated.

try selecting the cells button to the left of the column headers and on top
of the row numbers>format>column>unhide
 
It doesn't matter if either the column width is set to zero or if it is
hidden. The result if the same. Normally to unhide a column you would
highlight one either side and click on <Format><Column><Unhide>. The problem
is that there is no column to the left of A. To get around this click on
the square to the north of the row headers and to the west of the column
headers click on <Format><Column><Unhide>.

Regards.
