What is the question you are referring to? Most of the spreadsheet application I know allow you - to mark a column - and to hide it (it is still there and can be displayed of course) That question was asked for example in https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/2blff3/is_it_possible_to_hide_some_columns_from_an_org I now that I can hide regions in emacs but I am not sure about rectangles. > I don't understand your question. - Well part one: Original table | Name | Passport | other | | | <2> | | | Joe | 123456 | | | John | 456789 | | - part two: narrow the second column | Name | =>> | other | | | =>> | | | Joe | =>> | | | John | ==> | | - part three missing: how can I recover the original table (something like widening)????? The only solution I came up with is rather cumbersome (defun org-table-turn-narrowing-off () (interactive) (setq org-table-do-narrow nil) (message "Now table narrowing is off!")) (defun org-table-turn-narrowing-on () (interactive) (setq org-table-do-narrow t) (message "Now table narrowing is on!")) (defun org-table-toggle-narrowing () "Toggle function between New subject is in same thread or not." (interactive) (make-repeat-command 'org-table-toggle-narrowing '(org-table-turn-narrowing-on org-table-turn-narrowing-off))) Turning narrowing of and run C-c C-c again. I hope there are more comfortable solutions. Uwe Brauer
