Excel 2003 - Protecting and Hiding Columns

I have just created a spreadsheet and two columns are hidden. Other people
have to use this spreadsheet but I do not want them to "unhide" the two
columns. Is there a way to protect it so they cannot unhide them?

Not really.

You could hide the columns, protect the worksheet (which may cause loss of other
functionality you want), but that kind of protection is easily broken.

Not always applicable, but you could not show Row and Column headers, maybe
develope some custom ones that work for you. That way no one knows there are
hidden parts to you sheet.
