Hi Paul,

oops that's a good question - seems more complicated than I anticipated now.

I was trying to keep the normal columns with their borders intact

Columns - Normal Text Columns

2,5,8,11,14


Columns - The Ones I want to give the appearance of hidden - no borders at all or white to make them seem invisible.

1,3,4,6,7,9,10,12,13,15


Here is a pic of what I am trying to achieve. The hidden columns will be tiny so the main columns will be closer together in the end.

In excel you can simply hide columns - word is unforgiving - no such function.
Word also has a bad habit of crashing when you try to change column sizes, hence needing some sort of solution that can help me hide some of the columns.
