Hi patinak

to unhide columns you need to select the column headings both sides of the
hidden columns, so if you hid columns B, C, D then you need to click on
column header A and drag across to column header E and then choose format /
columns / unhide

Cheers

columns (I'm working on a stock spread sheet). I hid three columns,
followed the instructions to unhide them and nothing happenss.
