How do I insert and move a column to a spreadsheet

I have tried "insert' but i get the paintbrush, the column numbers change but I see no new column on my spreadsheet.
How do i do this?
Thanks,

Hi,

To insert a new column (or columns)select a whole column (or number of columns), rightmouse, Insert

To re-position a column, inset a column where you want the column to be, select the column you want to move, then select the thick edge of the highlight and drag the column sideways to the empty column you made to receive it.

Delete the empty shell column (if required)
