# Adding a New Column to a Table

To add a new column to a table:

1. To create a new column to the left of an existing cell, select the Insert a column entry in the Table sub-menu (`Ctrl t Ctrl b`).
2. To create a new column to the right of an existing cell, select the Append a column entry in the Table sub-menu (`Ctrl t Ctrl a`).

New columns can also be easily added to a table using the Enter key. When a whole cell is selected (use `F2`), pressing the Enter key create a new cell and its corresponding column to the right of the selected cell.
