Delete rows and columns entirely (not their content)

[avidseeker]

It never made sense to have a spreadsheet program starts with too many rows and columns. It is so annoying and counter-productive.

This is like launching a drawing application to have 10,000x10,000 pixel canvas, or like entering a text editor to see 10,000 empty lines. Why not just let the user pick the suitable size?

I want a way to delete those unnecessary columns. Bonus points if there’s a way to set up a default size.

This can be done easily with Google Docs.

Pretty much the same as

Deleting Multiple Columns all at once

I know this has been asked many times, I have tried some of the suggestions to no avail. I have two questions: How do I remove all columns to the right of a specified column? Why does the standard sheet have 10000 of them? Ridiculous to go on and on highlighting over 100 empty columns How do I create my own spreadsheet with a set number of columns and rows so I do not have to deal with the above? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

isn’t it?
