My apologies ... typo ... entering a "formula" into a cell.

I'll get the user to try it tomorrow but it appears to happen on any
spreadsheet she works on. No macros involved - I'll check her personal.xls.
I agree about it being unusual ... I've never seen it before and I cannot
recreate in on any other PC.

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure what you mean by "entering a column into any cell" but columns
unhiding themselves is pretty unusual. Can a macro be involved (perhaps
unknowingly)? If you disable macros when you open the workbook does the
problem still occur? If so, when you start Excel in safe mode so that no
extra files are opened (Start-Run and enter "Excel.exe /s" without quotes)
does it happen?.
