extra rows and columns
Hi Wooster,
Hiding columns and rows is fine if you have data in there that you do not want to show. But if the purpose is to hide or not print because the last cell indication is wrong (ctrl+end), then you should fix your spreadsheets and the empty rows and columns are using up space in the workbook. The use of the PrintArea or hiding cells is frequently used to mask other problems. If you delete rows or columns Excel remembers that you used up to certain rows and columns, and will not reset that indication when you delete rows or columns. So Excel still thinks your are using rows and columns that you are not. The easiest to use and fix the entire workbook at once was the macro in the following article: Did you stop reading before you got to the DeleteUnused macro. "Why do my scrollbars go to row 500 -- my data ends in cell E50?" http://www.contextures.com/xlfaqApp.html#Unused There is no save in the DeleteUnused macro, you will have to save the file when the macro finishes, or before you exit Excel.. You want to use the macro. You will simply not be able to do it manually with consistency. -- --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Wooster" wrote in message ...
