# Removing/Copying/Pasting a Column

When a whole column is selected, it's possible to delete it, copy (or to cut) it and to paste it before or after another column.

To select a column:

1. Use the Select column entry in the Table sub-menu (`Ctrl t Ctrl c`).
2. You can also start the selection in a cell and extend to another cell in the same column (by example starts in Cell 1.2 and ends in Cell 3.2). Amaya changes to the column selection mode. Hitting the `F2` key on Windows (or the `Esc` key on Linux) extends the selection into the column between and including the two whole cells (Cell 1.2, Cell 2.2, Cell 3.2).

Cell 1.1 | Cell 1.2 | Cell 1.3
Cell 2.1 | Cell 2.2 | Cell 2.3
Cell 3.1 | Cell 3.2 | Cell 3.3

When a whole column is selected, it's possible to copy (or to cut) it and to paste it before or after another column.

1. To paste a column before an existing column, click at the beginning of a cell in the existing column and paste the copied or cut column or use the Paste before entry in the Table sub-menu (`Ctrl t Ctrl p`).
2. To paste a column after an existing column, move the cursor to the end of a cell in the existing column and paste the copied or cut column or use the Paste after entry in the Table sub-menu (`Ctrl t Ctrl v`).
