That should have done it..........
Two things come to mind.........is the sheet "Protected"
Maybe the columns are showing but very narrow...........try highlighting the
columns on either side and setting the colunn width to something like 8 ro
10........

Thanks for your help,
how do i find out if the worksheet is protected?
assigning a column width of 8 didn't solve the problem..

Hi Sharon
Chuck has just about got it covered, but if you want to do a global unhide,
select the button where the row headers and column headers intersect, ( up in
the top left hand corner).....and then click Unhide.

But wouldn't the options to unhide be grayed out if so ?

Some quick diagnostics ..

Press CTRL+A (selects the entire sheet)
Click Format Column Unhide
Click Format Column Width 8.5 (say)
(Some column widths may have been inadvertently set to zero)

Clear any frozen pane (another possible culprit ..)
Click Window Unfreeze Panes
