Thank you thank you! It's a bit late coming back for this,
but this is what I need!

One way to insert an unformatted column:

Click on the heading of a blank column, to select it
Choose EditCopy
Click on the heading of the column where you want to
insert
a new column
Choose InsertCopied Cells

I've created a spreadsheet to keep track of some work.
Throughout each month new entries are added as needed
by
inserting rows and columns. I also use the Fill Color
tool
to show work that has been completed. The problem is
that
if a row or column is inserted between two adjacent
cells
that have been filled with color the color stretches
across and fills the new cells that have been created
in
between. It's more nuisance value than anything because
there is other notation absent so I know it isn't a
completed job, but is there a way to stop Excel 2000
spreading the fill automatically.
