Re: [O] TABLES: Remove/add cell

[Michael Brand]

Oh, and there is a much easier solution, probably the easiest:

Transpose the table with this
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-3-1
If the section numbering changed in the meantime: look for "Transpose
tables (Juan Pechiar)"

and split it into two (or three) tables:

| a | b | c | d |

| 1 | 3 | 4 |   |

(| e | f | g | h |)

Then you can use the very convenient editing functions of Org table on
the second part of the table, join the parts together and transpose
again.
