Just curious,
I hid column B, D, F
Then I selected the visible colums, A to G
So when I am pasting, I expect only to see column A, C, E, G.. but the hidden columns are shown as well.. Is there a way to work around this??

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
There are a few ways to work around that. Maybe the least complicated, which doesn't involve VBA, is to select your column range A:G while B, D, and F are hidden as you say. Next, try clicking on Edit > Go To, Special, select "Visible cells only" and click OK. Then copy that selection, and go to your destination range and paste. What should show up is the data in A, C, E, and G.

If this is a task you need to repeat often we could automate it, but to keep things simple, see if this method here does what you want first.

There is also a button which selects visible cells.
You will find it under Edit in the Customize menu.
