Why is most of the sheet grey and inaccessible?

I have an Excel book made by others, where the surroundings of each sheet is
grey and inaccessible. There is nothing wrong with it, on the contrary it is
quite nice. But what has been done to achieve this appearance?
 
Yes, you are on to it. I was able to show many of the columns now, but how
do I release all rows and columns? (And how do I hide them?) I feel there
must be a simpler way..

Click on the intersection between the row and column identifiers in
order to highlight the complete sheet. Then you can click on Format |
Columns then Unhide | OK and then click on Format | Rows | Unhide |
OK.

Hope this helps.

Columns could be revealed all the way to IV. But I can still not reveal the
rows beneath those used. I want to add something below, but it is impossible
to go beneath row 62 (all is grey and inaccessible)

I can add rows, of course, so I can achieve what I want, but it seems
impossible to have the sheet look "normal" with white, open squares all
over.
 
The person who created the file might have set those rows below 62
with zero height - you can change this by highlighting the rows as
before, then using Format | Rows | Autofit (or Height, and specify
15).

You hit the bull's eye! Thanks!
