This workbook (the other sheets) exemplify how you can hide columns and rows

with VBA macros using diffent criterias. If you press ALT+F11 you can inspect the
code in Excel's VBA editor.

The sheets Automatic1 and Automatic2 exemplify how code can be executed
automaticelly by putting code into the sheets' code sheets under "Microsoft Excel
Objects". If you cannot see the code sheets in the editor, press CTRL+R to open
Project Explorer.

The sheets' codesheets have som standard procedures that are called automatically
when certain events happen. We use the procedure Worksheet_Change.
On the sheets Find-Hide and Hide-empty-columns are some buttons (control elements),
and their code is on the code sheets too.

The examples

In Automatic1 a row is hidden, if you insert an "x" in column A. If you insert a 0 (zero)
instead, all hidden rows will become visible again, and all text in column A is deleted.

Automatic2 shows how you can hide rows using criteria. All rows (except row 1) will
be hidden, if they have the same value in column A as the value you put in cell A1.
If you insert a zero or press Delete in cell 1, all hidden rows will become visible again.

Find-Hide uses the search function. The user is prompted for a search string, and all
rows with this value in column B will be hidden. Here you must click a button.

Hide-empty-columns hides all empty columns in the range column 1-26. You can
easily modify this. Press a button to run the macro.

If for instance you insert "ww" in cell A1, all rows with "ww" in column A will be
hidden. If you insert a 0 (zero) or press Delete in cell A1, all hissen rows will
