Re: FIXED - Cannot insert column - wrong type argument

["Gez" <register@geekanddiva.com>]

Thanks, Giovanni, but I fixed it before using your sample file.  I went 
through my file with a fine-tooth comb and found a tag on a line beginning 
"PROPERTIES".  (At least I think it was that line -  it could have been the 
line below with the property value in it.  Whichever it was, it wasn't on a 
headline.)

When I removed the tag and reloaded the file, the column commands all worked 
fine.

I'm assuming that was the cause, but I was surprised though since there had 
been no error message.
