To add a single column, select a cell and then choose Format > Table > Add Column

the Table inspector.
To add multiple columns, select the number of columns you want to add (select three
m
columns to add three columns). To add columns after a particular column, make sure
the rightmost column selected is the one after which you want the new columns
added; to add columns before a particular column, make sure the leftmost column
selected is the one before which you want the new columns added. Then choose one
of the commands above.

key moves to next cell” below Table Options in the Table inspector is selected.
Press Tab once when the last cell is selected. Press Tab twice if you’ve just added or
changed the cell value.
