newcomer, that is all you get with excel on one sheet, could you use more
sheets, or rearrange data to go down the sheet? The next version of excel
will have more columns, and rows

Hello everybody:

I am urgently looking for the answer to the following question. How to
increase a spreadsheet's totalcolumn number from 256 to a larger one(346,
for
example)?

I would be very appreciated if anybody can give me some hints

Thank you very much
