Re: [O] insert cell inside an org-mode table?
This looks like exactly the solution Sharon is looking for! What a great community we have that it even already exists! Thanks for pointing to it.

This is not built-in but you can look here at the last example: "Rearrange one or more field within the same row or column" http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#field-same-row-or-column Michael

Okay, imagine that you have this table - | fruit | one| two| |++| | pear | orange | grape | | banana | grapefruit | satsuma| | tomato | potato | clementine | And you discover that you've missed out apples and you want to put them where 'grapefruit' currently is, I would like the following to happen - | fruit | one| two| |++| | pear | orange | grape | | banana | apple | satsuma| | tomato | grapefruit | clementine | || potato || Where the rest of the column gets shifted downwards by one cell. Now that is a very simplistic table, the one that I'm hoping to build will be 6 columns by about 60 rows, so having the ability to shift rows downwards from inserting a cell would be vital to its successful usage.

Re: [O] insert cell inside an org-mode table?
Not really. Could you give an example of before and after? For example if you are in the middle of a row and want to insert a cell in that row, what should happen? Should the just that row get longer? Or should you just add a new column? How should the cells around it shift?

Yes, I would like to just insert a single cell into a place within the table, and then be able to adjust all other rows and cells around it, so that it appears no different from any of the original cells. So that its assimilated into the table as a whole. Does this help explain what I want to do?

Re: [O] insert cell inside an org-mode table?
I don't totally understand what you want to do. You can insert a row or column into a table. org-table-insert-column org-table-insert-row Are you trying to do something different than that?

[O] insert cell inside an org-mode table?
I maintain my 'DrugFacts' website in mediawiki. I write my article in org-mode, export to mediawiki, correct the citations, then cut and paste into my mediawiki page. And it all works very well. But the front-page is a right swine! Here is the first two rows of my mediawiki front-page - --8<---cut here---start->8--- {| | '''Illegal''' | '''Category's''' | '''Legal''' | '''Prescription only''' | '''Substitute''' | '''Others''' |- |* [[Amphetamines]] |* [[:Category:Anaesthetics|Anaesthetics]] |* [[Alcohol]] |* [[Alprazolam]] |* [[Buprenorphine]] |* [[Flumazenil]] |- --8<---cut here---end--->8--- And because writing mediawiki tables leads to brain damage, and a desire to consume 6 pints of beer as the world is going to end in ten minutes, according to Douglas Adams and Ford Prefect, I'm intending to create the table in org-mode and then export to mediawiki, correct as necessary, and upload. Which brings me to my question. Is it possible to insert a cell *inside* an org-mode table please, and auto-shuffle other rows/columns about to fit? According to the 'Table' menu in emacs, there isn't a way of doing it, and neither does the org-mode manual say that it can be done. But perhaps other people have found a way of doing it please?
