Excel 2003 Columns disapearing 1

[VE]

Hi,

This should be a simple spreadsheet; there are no formulas or VBA. I'm very confused at this point.

Basically, I'm copying the formatting from one sheet to the other. At first the sheet will appear fine, but when I go back to it the first 3-5 columns will be gone, i.e. the left most column will be column D.

I have tried highlighting the sheet and clicking Format-column -unhide but that does not bring them back. I guess because I didn't hide them in the first place.

I thought that maybe the columns to the right all the way to the end were "somehow" causing the problem, but deleting them and saving did not help.

What else should I try?

Thank you very much

Highlight the sheet and set column width to 8.43

Thank you! that worked.

Now, the reason it worked...... Those columns were set to almost Zero width. That's why you couldn't see them
