Is there a way to move a column in between existing columns with drag-and-drop?

Hold shift and the shaded border you see when moving the selected column will change to a shaded line between two destination columns.

When you release your mouse the column will move to where the shaded line was.

The procedure is yet explained, but not in the exact way:

1. first, press over the column name to have it selected.
2. second, while pressing shift, move the mouse pointer over the top-left corner of the first cell, until it gets to a cross arrows symbol ( like this: http://www.getfreeimage.com/image/719/mouse-pointer ).
3. Then, click and drag the column to its new position.
4. That's all.

I'm using Office 2010. The only way I've been able to move a column is to

1. Insert a new column where I want to move to
2. Cut the column I want to move
3. Inserting it into the new column.

For some reason the above does not work for me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but this is what worked.

I'm using Excel 2010. The only way I've been able to move a column is to

1. Insert a new column where I want to move to

2. Right click on column you want to move

3. Select- entire column

4. Drag left/right side of column to new location

5. New column remains

I have been able to move several columns at once
