Adding Columns to a Table
You can add columns within a table or at the end of a table. If the table contains a
header column, new columns added on the left side of the table are added after the
header column.
Here are ways to add columns:
Select the table, and then specify the number of columns you want in the column
m
number field in the format bar.
New columns are added to the end of the existing table.
To add a single column anywhere in the table, select a cell and then choose Format >
m
Table > Add Column Before or Add Column After.
You can also choose these commands from the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu in
the Table inspector. Click Inspector in the Toolbar, and click the Table inspector button,
and then click Table.
To add multiple columns anywhere in the table, select cells spanning columns equal to
m
the number of new columns you want to add (for example, select three columns if you
want to add three columns), and then choose Format > Table > Add Columns Before
or Add Columns After.
You can also choose these commands from the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu in
the Table inspector. Click Inspector in the Toolbar, click the Table inspector button, and
then click Table.
You can split cells into two equal rows. “
