although you don't get lost as easy, inserting (or removing) a column in a long table of data points is still a PITA. >If I had to manipulate tables with even more complex or large data, I would >probably enter the data rows into different pages as PageTextVariables. For Interesting idea. But consider horizontally _and_ vertically related data, e.g. measurements from experiments with two variable parameters. A "visual" table editor is priceless in this case. Editing table data externally, using Text2Tbl or ConvertHTML, is an workaround.
