I only check this thread on work days, FYI. Sorry about the delay that imposes, and thank you for continuing to try to help.

I just tried your steps again, and again had no success. Could this be related to the version of Excel I'm using? I'm on Excel 2010 v14.0.7192.5000 32-bit, it seems.

> What was Last cell after you did those steps?

Y65536, same as it was originally.

> Why didn't you unhide?

I'm not sure what gave you that impression. I did.
