    You can do a right-mouse button click on a cell in library manager, and choose 'Hide Cell', which will bring up a form where you can specify all cells you want to hide. Which IC version are you using? I think this was introduced in IC617.

    Okay, I've checked that this was introduced in IC617 ISR13, so may be you are on an older version? Here's an article explaining the enhancements to Library Manager in this release (including hiding a cell):

    Actually, 'Hide Cell' menu was made available IC617 ISR8 onwards, so if you move to ISR8 or any newer release, you should see the menu.
