Hi

I think I figured what's the problem. Alright, it's sill my problem.
Here is the detail: I tried to add columns immediately after creating
a big table by \table command, but I didn't create the specific table
by M+T N T or something like that. I thought that would work, but
obviously, the answer is no.

Sorry for disturbing everyone for such a trivial problem in the end...
Thanks again for your great help.

Best
