:-)  many thanks again Brian, this helps a lot...>Tools>... =ok it was 
already in that way
what do you intend to press Alt+Insert?? I clicked on Insert menu 
pressing Alt but it seems nothing happen, if I place cursor in the table 
a lower ribbon appear where is there an insert icon, pressing Alt and 
clicking on it nothing happens, but the keyoard handling should works 
becouse I can change columns width with Alt+left-arrow and right-arrow..
but..., I would like a behaviour like this:
...hoping to explain well..:-) :-)
when inserting column total table width has to change and single column 
width not.
in Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org Writer | Table | Keyboard 
handling | Insert cell I set column width to insert = 2cm
if my table is 10cm wide and has 3 columns of 4cm 3cm and 3cm
when I add a column the table should result 12cm wide and 4 columns of 
4cm 3cm 3cm and 2cm..
...in practice like if I copy and paste a column..., that if I remember 
well was possible before and seems not now...:-)

:-) ciao :-) pier...
