When I click on a column, that column and one to its right is sele

For some reason, on my first spreadsheet, when I click on a column, the one
to its right is also selected. It doesn;t happen on all the columns. What did
I do to cause that? Thank you for any assistance.

I bet you merged some cells.

Select those two columns and then
Rightclick on any of the selected cells
Format cells|Alignment tab
Look for merged cells.

You'll see that it's a mixture of merged cells (either a green square or a grey
checkbox -- depends on the version).

You can remove the merged cells by clearing that checkbox.

But you may want to look to see if you removed some of the "prettiness" from
your worksheet. Merged cells are used to make things look pretty--like headers
that span multiple columns.
