hiding columns with merged rows
 
Hi,

Is it possible to hide two columns G and H for example even though row 1 and
2 are merged together? When I try to do this it hides the whole sheet as row
1 and 2 are merged throughout the worksheet.

Version: Excel 97

Excel 2002 can hide only G and H columns when rows 1 and 2 are merged.
Maybe this problem is only in Excel 97 ?

Hi Janusz,

Thanks for your quick reply. I was using doing the following to hide the
columns:

Selecting Column G and H using CTRL
Right clicking and selecting HIDE

I am working with a worksheet that already has the columns hidden however
when I attempt to duplicate this it doesn't work. Could this have been a
worksheet that was created in a different version of Excel that supported
hiding of columns with merged rows?

Every newer version of excel that supports merged cells seems to behave
differently (better???). My suggestion is to try not to use merged cells.
