hide columns on a protected sheet???
 
When using MS Excel 2003: I have turned on "Protect Sheet" to protect some
formulas from being deleted. Prior to turning on protection I unlocked the
cells that I wanted users to be able to edit. And I have checked the box to
"Allow all users of this worksheet to:" "Delete Columns".

What I *don't* see on the "Protect Sheet" menu is an option to "Hide Columns"

Do you know of any way that I can allow users to do this, without turning
off the protection in MS Excel 2003?
