excel

We have a a spreadsheet in excel 2003 format which has reached it's limit in terms of number of columns
We need to insert another column - is there a work around for this?
Also, if we delete columns we still cannot insert columns, getting the following error message:

To prevent possible loss of data excel cannot shift non-blank cells off the worksheet .......

We have checked for non-blank cells but cannot find any - unhiding fields still reveals no non-blank cells

It's not my sheet - belongs to a customer I support. I have suggested that the file is getting a bit cumbersome.
They could migrate to excel 2010 where there are >16,000 columns allowed  I suppose
