I hid only column "A" in a worksheet and I have not been able to unhide it
using the normal steps to unhide a column. Is there something special I must
do when the hidden column is column "A"

Any help would be appreciated

Click the select all button (the gray rectangle above the row
numbers and to the left of the column letters) and then right
click a column header and choose Unhide.

The easiest way would be to select column B and drag to the
select all cells button to the left, then Format, column, unhide.

Another way type A or type A:A into the name box at the left of
the formula bar, then Format, column, unhide

okay that was easier, since he said he only hid the A column.

Thanks for the information-I was able to unhide column "A". I think the root
of my specific problem was that I needed to unfreeze the view windows I had
set up before I tried to unhide the column.

Thanks
