Column Properties

Columns are not objects and therefore have no properties. However, Composer does provide some assistance in adding and deleting groups of cells that make up the columns of a table. There are no Column Properties in the HTML 3.2 standard (though future versions will address column properties).

Adding a column to a table

Columns are added to the right of the column where the cursor is.

R-Click in a column's cell: select Insert, then select Column

=OR=

L-Click in a column's cell;
Menubar: Insert, select Column

Since columns are added to the right of a specified column, a new first column can not be added to a table. Add a new second column, and cut and paste the cell entries from the first column into it.

Deleting a column from a table

There is no way to select a group of columns; columns can only be deleted one at a time.

R-Click anywhere in the column to delete: select Delete, then select Column

=OR=

L-Click anywhere in the column to delete;
Menubar: Edit, select Delete Table, then select Column

Changing the properties of a column

Since a Column is not an object, there are no properties that apply to all the cells of a column. And Composer provides no extra help in this task, as it does in adding and deleting columns. To change the properties of all the cells in a column, the properties of each cell in the column must be changed individually. Sorry.
