XL2003, how can I set the view to show only the cells with data

In Excel 2003, how can I set the view to show only the cells with data in
them and the rest of the spreadsheet be hidden or just show a blank area with
no cells showing?

You can hide the rows and columns that you are not using. Imagine you
are using columns A to F - highlight column G by clicking the "G" at
the top of the column, then hold the Shift key down and press End
once followed by Right-arrow then release Shift. This will have
highlighted all the columns from G to IV, then select Format | Columns
| Hide.

Do a similar thing for the rows - if you make use of 30 rows, for
example, highlight all the rows from 31 to the bottom and hide them.

You will have a grey area outside your used range.

Hope this helps.

That did the trick. I was already trying to do that but was trying the Ctrl
key instead of the shift key. Thank you!
