Default Some columns went missing...

i can't view column's B through D on a spreadsheet of mine. it skips right
from column A to column F. I tried the 'unhide' function to see if they had
been hidden (the spreadsheet is accessed and used by multiple people) but it
appears that they have not - nothing becomes unhidden when i select the
adjacent column then go to formatcolumnunhide.

If the columns were deleted, the alphabet wouldn't be broken up like that,
right? I have also tried freezing and unfreezing panes... everything. i can't
find these colums.

any help or advice on how to see them, or figure out where they went would
be wonderful. thanks in advance.

Try this.
Instead of clicking on the column header, go to the little grey box where
the column headers and the row headers meet ( top left corner).
Click on it so that it highlights the whole page and then right click on any
column header and select unhide.

Perhaps their column widths have been set to zero..........

Could be that the columns' width has been set to a small number like 0.1

Select across A:E and FormatColumnWidth8.43
