There's no way to just unhide a column header.
However, you can enter the header names in a list in an out-of-the-way
location, say AA1 to AA5:
C - Gross
D - Tare
E - Net
.... etc.

Then, select those 5 cells and click in the name box.
Type a short name, say
List
Then hit <Enter.

Now, to remind yourself, click in the name box, and click on "List",
And you'll see your header names.

Let me restate:
I'm showing coumns A B H I J.
I know C D E F G are hidden, but I don't know their names.
I cannot find the one I'm looking for unless I unhide those columns.
I'm looking for a quick way to remind me what those columns headers
are - Mike

The column headers should give you a clue.

A B C E F G would indicate that D is hidden.

To unhide D select C and E and right-clckunhide.

If you had D E F hidden and wanted to unhide just E then click in namebox
and
type E1 and Enter then FormatColumnUnhide

I have a spreadsheet with a dozen wide columns.
I have occassion to hide columns so I can fit what I want to see on a
screen. However, sometimes I need to see a hidden column and I don't
recall which one it was. I don't want to have to unhide everything so
I can locate that column.
Is there a trick to seeing the column headings without having to
unhide them? or is there an easy toggle between hide and unhide? -
