Lil, I do not think that you have a problem with the menu system. I think that you have another issue. In order to unhide a column you must have highlighted the hidden column by selecting with the shift key and your cursor keys the columns on both sides. For example. If column B is hidden and you want to unhide it. Select columns A through C. Then use your menu keys to unhide the column. I believe that this is your issue. You did not state that you had selected a range that included the hidden column that you want to unhide. I hope that I have been of some assistance. By the way, you can find JAWS keyboard shortcuts for Excel by going to the JAWS keyboard manager with the insert key and number 8 on the number row.

I can hide the column by going to the format menu and then arrow down to column and right arrow over to hide. This works, but when I repeat the procedure and try to unhide the column nothing happens. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Lil ~ -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
