Amaya only adds a new column when you add a new cell in a row. If your table has empty columns it's because you have created them before. Please pay attention when you're editing a table: a return create a new cell and you have to use the -> key to move to the next empty cell. I agree that in this particular case it would be useful to have an horizontal scroll to delete extra columns. Irene.
