H,
I've used the grouping function in the past to make a series of columns
collapsable. This has been very useful for reading and cross referencing in
documents with lots of columns.

Now I have a document with few columns, but each column is very wide. I want
to give column its own plus and minus button so that I can close any column,
or selection of columns, as I need.

If I try to do this, unsurprisingkly with a feature called "group", all the
columns are added to the first plus/minus button.

Is there any way that I can give each column its own plus/minus button?

Thanks

Karl

I don't know of any way to do so short of VBA, at least as far as the +/-,
but don't overlook the FormatColumnHide/Unhide capability. You might even
create macros & assign them to buttons on a custom toolbar.

You can also create custom Views & add a list of views to a toolbar so you
can go directly from one to another.
