Hi Karen

Select the first column header to the right of your data.
Then Use "Ctrl-Shift-right Arrow" to select all other columns

Right click on the selection and choose Hide

I have set up my worksheet, but have a tremendous number of columns left
unused. I have tried to delete them, but they don't go away. How can I
get
rid of them?
