1. Position your cursor on a cell in the column to the right of where you want to insert a new column. I.E. if you want to insert a column between B and C, your cursor will need to be in column C. If you want to insert a row, your cursor needs to be in the row below where you want the new row inserted I.E. if you want to insert a row between rows 14 and 15, your cursor needs to be in row 15. 2. Use your application key and open the context menu. Arrow down to Insert and press Enter or Right Arrow to open the submenu. 3. arrow down to the type of inserting you want to do and press Enter. 4. Your cursor is now positioned in the new column to the left of the cell it was originally in, or it is in the row above the cell where it was originally.
