= SYMPTOMS =

Page 126 of the “Microsoft Works Reference” manual describes hiding and retrieving columns in a spreadsheet. Step two for retrieving a hidden column is incorrect. It reads as follows:

In the Go To box, type the label for the column you want to display, such as D or E.

When you perform this step, Microsoft Works for MS-DOS version 2.0 generates the error message “Name does not exist.”

= WORKAROUND =

To successfully display a hidden column, type a cell reference, such as D1 or E1, in the Go To box.

= STATUS =

This documentation error does not occur in later versions of Works.
