Thanks for the information-I was able to unhide column "A". I think the root
of my specific problem was that I needed to unfreeze the view windows I had
set up before I tried to unhide the column.

Thanks

The easiest way would be to select column B and drag to the
select all cells button to the left, then Format, column, unhide.

Another way type A or type A:A into the name box at the left of
the formula bar, then Format, column, unhide

I hid only column "A" in a worksheet and I have not been able to unhide it
using the normal steps to unhide a column. Is there something special I must
do when the hidden column is column "A"

Any help would be appreciated
