Column type
Select a predefined column type or user-defined column type. (Column types are listed alphabetically, so user-defined columns appear at the end of the list.)
Note: If you add more than one user-defined text column, select a different column number each time. For example, the first time you add a column, select User Defined Text 1 from the Column type list. The second time you add a column, select User Defined Text 2.
