Hidden Columns

[NextYearSox]

I received a spreadsheet that has hidden columns and rows. In the upper left-hand-corner of Excel (not in the workbook), there are two sets of "buttons" that allow me to hide or unhide certain columns. However, I can't seem to change which columns these "buttons" hide or unhide. (I can manually hid or unhide any columns).

Any ideas on how to use these "buttons"? They seem to be part of Excel, not VB-based.

I believe you are referring to an outline where the numbers 1 and 2 appear to hide and unhide certain cells. If this sounds like what it is then search for Outline in the Microsoft Excel Help File.
