Inserting blank column

[Kimb]

I would like to insert a blank column in a project I'm working on (free form
fields so that I can list the Manager's name and then show each person
working on specific task assigned to that manager). Would like to be able to
provide additional sort capabilities. How do I do this? The one posting and
subsequent response on inserting a blank column was vague as far as how to
actually do it. It did not help at all.

Hello Kimb,

Display the table (left side) of the view and click on the column
heading. Click you're secondary mouse button to show the shortcut menu
and select Insert Column command on the shortcut menu. In the Column
Definition dialog box, select one of the Text fields (Text1 - Text30).

Enter in a title and click OK to close the Column definition dialog box.
You can then "free form" up to 255 characters in the field as well as
use the data in the field for sorting or filtering.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
