Insert a text column

Solution 1:

Let's assume you have the following text:

18.0     month   12.5  text1    text2   text3
141.9     month   12.5  text1    text2   text3
52.8     month   12.5  text1  text2   text3
59.9     month   12.5  text1    text2   text3
36.4     month   12.5  text1    text2   text3
51.8     month   12.5  text1  text2   text3
68.0     month   12.5  text1    text2   text3

For keyboard use:

  • Position the cursor in the desired column e.g. in front of month
  • Hold Alt+Shift and move down with cursor key
  • The cursor becomes a vertical line
  • Write any text e.g. comma

For mouse use:

  • Position the cursor in the desired column e.g. in front of month
  • Hold Alt and move the mouse exactly vertically downwards
  • The cursor becomes a vertical line
  • Write any text e.g. comma

Repeat steps for the desired columns. Use it in two steps for special cases like shown below:
