That's elegant, and the configuration can be saved for future use. It's likely quicker than the other method I mentioned in situations like Akiko's, and maybe more complex ones.
I'm not an advocate of the copy-paste method on the source file, because from experience, there is always the risk of destroying things (like a merged cell at the 4156th line in column FD). So it requires more care than ticking a checkbox! At least with the "Hide" option, the worst that can happen is to forget to "unhide" the text before delivery.
