I was trying to get rid of the contents in the columns to the right of my
spreadsheet and instead I accidently deleted everything to the right (area is
now grey). Now I can't insert new columns because I have limited the size of
the spreadsheet. How can I recover columns to the right? I can't just click
undo because I have saved and gone out of the spreadsheet.

The data in deleted columns is lost
I do not understand how you think you have limited the size of the worksheet
That is not possible
tell us more
best wishes

Sounds like you hid the columns.

CTRL + a(twice in 2003) to select all.

Right-click on a column header and "Unhide"
