Adding A Column to a Worksheet

Adding a New Column

There are two ways to Add a new column

using a dialog
using shortcut keys

Using a Dialog

This method is for less experienced users - follow these steps:

click the 'Modify Structure' button in the Defaults TAB
the following dialog will appear

click the right/left arrow next to the 'Title' text field, until the column that currently exists and is most similar to the column you want to add, shows in this 'Title' textfield.
now click the '+' (Add) button
this will 'create' a new column with the same title as the currently selected column's title, but preceded with the words 'Copy of ....'
click the 'right arrow' repeatedly until the title of this added column displays (NOTE: At the moment it's order will be indeterminant)
type into the 'Title' text box the name you want for this new column (NOTE: Make sure you do not create DUPLICATE column titles)
make the appropriate selections for the 'Data Type', and 'Options' in the 'General' TAB, and 'Precisions', 'Alignment' , and 'Data Entry' in the 'Data' TAB
when satisfied with all the details, click 'Finish'
you will now be taken back into the Worksheet you were working on
the new column can now be 'dragged' into the position in the column order - do this by clicking in the heading of the column, and while still holding the mouse button down, drag the column to it's destination position
you are now done

Using Shortcut Keys

click in the column that currently exists and is most similar to the column you want to add
press the 'CTRL+ALT+'+' key combination
this will 'create' a new column with the same title as the currently selected column's title, but preceded with the words 'Copy of ....'
right mouse click in the New column's heading - a popup menu will appear
adjust the options in this menu to suit
the new column can now be 'dragged' into the position in the column order - do this by clicking in the heading of the column, and while still holding the mouse button down, drag the column to it's destination position
you are now done

If you need to ADD this column to other existing worksheets in this project, then use the option 'Apply Settings' to add this to all existing worksheets of this type.
