Try this.
Instead of clicking on the column header, go to the little grey box where
the column headers and the row headers meet ( top left corner).
Click on it so that it highlights the whole page and then right click on any
column header and select unhide.

i can't view column's B through D on a spreadsheet of mine. it skips right
from column A to column F. I tried the 'unhide' function to see if they had
been hidden (the spreadsheet is accessed and used by multiple people) but it
appears that they have not - nothing becomes unhidden when i select the
adjacent column then go to formatcolumnunhide.

If the columns were deleted, the alphabet wouldn't be broken up like that,
right? I have also tried freezing and unfreezing panes... everything. i can't
find these colums.

any help or advice on how to see them, or figure out where they went would
be wonderful. thanks in advance.
