Remember to look for comments and merged cells.

I have a spreadsheets with many columns. since the columns are too wide, I
am changing the column width to 4. Everything seemed to be OK, but now it
doesn't let me do it. It says "cannot shift objects off sheet" I have many
empty columns at the end of the sheet, and when I tried deleting them,
nothing happened.
