How do you insert a new column between the first and second columns?

• A. Insert Left button
• B. Delete Right
• C. Merge Cells
• D. Split Cells

Answer: (A)

To add a new column between two existing columns in a Word table, use the Insert Left command. Select any cell in the second column (the column to the right of where you want the new column). Then click Insert Left from the Table Tools Layout options. Word inserts a new column to the left of the selected column, placing it between the first and second columns. The other options don’t create a new column: Delete Right would remove content in the column to the right, Merge Cells combines multiple cells, and Split Cells divides a single cell into smaller ones.
