Default adding cells


choose where a cell shifts to
By default when you add a cell in a table it shifts the contents of the column down and then onto the next page if there isn't room on the existing page. Is it possible to make it so the content is shifted to the next column instead of the next page?

so like
if the table was
1 l 6 l 11
2 l 7 l 12
3 l 8 l 13
4 l 9 l 14
5 l 10l 15
and I added a cell between 1and 2. but instead of the 5 being shifted to a new page have it shift to where 6 was and 10 shift to where 11 was and have 15 move to the new page

uhm, no.

If you set this up for columns, rather than in a table, you can get that kind of behavior. However, you lose the table structure. This is very much a different structure.

You could use a single-column table on a page configured for multiple (snaking) columns.
