Default Question: Hide Columns - not the ususal way

I just received an Excel file from a client and it has two small boxes in the very top right hand corner of the spreadsheet (above row 1 and to the left of column A). When I click on one of the arrows, it either hides or unhides columns in the spreadsheet. How can I do this with other spreadsheets? I am family with how to hide and unhide rows/columns using the Format menu, but I am intrigued by this new approach.

thanks in advance for your help

You're welcome,
ps.. You can also group rows. Press F1 (Help) and type 'Group and Outline'
check Outline also.
