I want to have two more columns in the remainder of my table than I have in a
header row. I presently have 1 less column than the remainder of the table.
When I attempt to add a new column by selecting the right most column
(without selecting a cell in the header row) and select "Table" "INSERT
COLUMN TO THE RIGHT" it adds a cell to the header row only. What do I need to
do to add that column?

Word won't arbitrarily create "partial" columns, but there are a few options
that may work:

One way - select the cells as you're doing, but use Table>Insert>Cells
rather than column. The new cells will go in on the *left* of the selected
cells, however, so you'll most likely have to do some cut & paste if the
table already has content.

Another thought - do exactly as oyu did before, then insert another column &
merge the cells in the header row.

You may also be able to construct something using the Table Drawing Tools on
the Tables & Borders Toolbar. I'm not sure of the stability of the final
product, though:)

Thanks! Your first option works the best.
