one and one‑half times the width of the column being dragged, new
columns are added that have the same width as the original column.
If you drag to insert only one column, that column can have a narrower
or wider width than the column from where you dragged. The same
behavior is true of rows, unless the Row Height for the row being
dragged is set to At Least. In this case, if you drag to create
only one row, InDesign will resize the new row, if necessary, so
that it’s tall enough to contain text.</p>

make sure you begin dragging before you press Alt or Option.)</span></li>
