The basic premise is that a new column (like a new row) will inherit the
characteristics of the one before it--in this case a numbered style or
formatting.

Thank You!

The document is made by others - so you dont know how things were made
originally... but this did the trick!

When you insert the new column, select it and either change the style to
an
unnumbered one or click on the Numbering button to turn off numbering
(depending on how you applied the numbering to begin with).

This allows me to insert to the right!

Unfortunately my problem with the numbers changing still occurs.
Somehow
the
new columns inherits the numbering from the original 2nd column and
continues
the numbering in the new 3rd column - and thereby messing up the
original
numbers in the 2nd column... The new column has numbers in the cells -
but
no
text.
I just want to insert a completely blank column to the right of my
table.

Any suggestions?

Doug's answer covers one way to do it. Another way is to select the
end-of-row markers (which you can see if you have nonprinting
characters
displayed). They are the markers to the right of the table, outside
it.
You
can select them by clicking the mouse at the tob of the table just as
you
would select a column. Then use Insert Rows.

I have a table with two columns, and now I want to add a blank third
column
to the right. How is that done?

If I just right-click the 2nd column and insert a column - then I
get
the
blank column in the middle, and when I then cut my old 2nd column
and
paste
it pack into its original 2nd position I have trouble because the
cells
have
numbered lists - and this procedure makes the numbering change.

Alternatively - if I could remove the numbered list - but keep the
numbers -
then I could just move my columns around.
