re: column or columns

No, add belongs to columns. The column object has a columns collection--this surprised me, but it's the way it works. The add methods belong to the plural. Our problem was not in adding a column--we can do that by telling the table or a column to do it--it works in both cases.

Our problem was *where* to create the column. I had thought that you would tell the table to add the column and then specify the location using the location option/reference combination. But a table can only add a column at its beginning or end. It turns out that you can't add a column in the middle of a table using the UI, either, and that you need to tell the relevant column to create a column before or after it. (Try it--select a table and use Insert>Column, and your options will be limited to left and right--i.e., before and after the table.)

If the enums don't work, they shouldn't be listed for the specific item. I'm not "rationalizing" anything--it's a bug, but it's a bug in the Guide, not in InDesign CS itself. My mistake--I did not test every enum in every possible situation.<g>

Thanks,

Ole
