Limiting the number of Columns in Excel

Hi Can any one tell me how to limit the number of columns in an excel 2003 spreadsheet, I only want columns a-g to be displayed and no others, I know it can be done but can't figure out how, any help would be much appreciated.

Is hiding the columns an option for you? You can try highlighting columns H:IV, right clicking on them, and choosing Hide.

Let me know if that helps.
