Are these cells spread all over the notebook or some contiguous block of cells somewhere in the notebook? If they are contiguous and depending on what the objective is, perhaps cell groups would be of help. Groups are new as of version 6 I think. You can collapse an entire "Cell Group" of cells into only cell by double-clicking only that cell (all others in the Group become hidden), and then double-clicking the outer cell bracket all become visible again. I wonder if Wolfram extended this idea of "Cell Groups" so that cells need not be contiguous, that this would be a lot more useful? -Bob
