I am running Excel 2003.

I have data which looks like this

A B C D E F G
1 Title on all columns
2 A2 B2 C2 D2 E2 F2 G2
3 A3 B3 C3 D3 E3 F3 G3
4 A4 B4 C4 D4 E4 F4 G3
5 A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 G4
6 A6 B6 C6 D6 E6 F6 G6
....

I record a macro which hides row 1 and selects column C.
When I step through the code, the whole sheet seems to be selected.
I have a workaround; I would like an explanation.

Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Hidden = True ' Hide first row
Columns("C:C").Select ' "selects" Columns("A:G")
Range("C2", Range("C2").End(xlDown)).Select ' "selects" what I want.
