Hi Patricia,
Nice one, I don't think I've heard that before. But I suspect it would be
version dependent (works for me in Excel 2002)..
File, Save As -- Appeared to work for me as well, and interestingly the
date created in the directory remains the same. The File, Save As trick would
be preferable to fixing just one sheet as it would fix all of the sheets.
I've been suggesting the macro at contextures.com by Debra Dalgleish
which is noted may not work for merged cells
Why do my scrollbars go to row 500 -- my data ends in cell E50?,

I have Excel 2002 now, so things may be a bit different that what I was
used to with Excel 2000. The need to close after the save and to reopen
was needed in Excel 95. In Excel 2000 if you used other tricks to delete the
rows and columns you didn't need to save to see the changes, but you would
of course have to save sooner or later to make the fix permanent.
