I think the current description is wrong and that rows and columns have been interchanged? The entries defined by this range are all in the row above (@-1) the current row. The columns chosen are two to the left of the current column up to the current column. If you wish to re-word, maybe: This range expands to three elements, all on the row above the current row, starting with the column two to the left of the current column. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.3.50.1 and Org release_7.9.3d-874-gf11acc
