      I have used the keyboard shortcut to “Hide” & “Unhide” columns for years and use it all the time. Just purchased a new computer running Vista “Business” and the shortcut to “Unhide a Column” does NOT work( Ctrl Shift ) )??

      I have tried several Keyboards, but still the same problem. Is this a problem with Vista ??

      Thank you
