Auto hide/Unhide columns
 

Several years ago I worked on a spreadsheet that had hidden columns. These
columns could be hid or unhid by clicking on something near the column
header. This was very nice for very wide spreadsheets that had particular
sections that one wanted to view. It was like being able to fold and unfold
the sheet to view just specific parts of the sheet, but I didn't have to go
to 'tools' 'hide', and it was very visually clear where the hidden areas were.
I've never seen this function on anther spreadsheet, and I've never managed
to find anything in help that describes what I saw.
Anybody have any idea what I am talking about?

Auto hide/Unhide columns
 

Hi

Try marking the range of columns you want to group, then Alt+Shift+right
arrow.
You will then see a - sign above the column headers. Click it and the
columns will be hidden, and the sign will change to a +
Alt+Shift+left arrow will ungroup them.

That seems very similar to what I remember. Functionally it seems the same,
although it seems like it looks different. What is this called? I'd like to
read anything included in the help files about this.
