ActiveDocument object not recognized

I think you want the Word groups, this is Excel.

Oh, great. So the code I found isn't even for Excel, but for a table in a Word document? I'll have to pay more attention to the environment when code comes back from an MSDN search. (Why isn't Microsoft consistent across platforms...)

To insert a column to the right of the presently selected cell:

ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Insert
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).EntireColumn.Insert
