why I got the message

[Dillon Peng]

hi, all
   my emacs is GNU Emacs 24.0.95.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, 
GTK+ Version 2.24.10),  
org is 8.2.5h   when I used C-c | to add a table 5X2 as follows:
 | d |   |   |   |   |
|---+---+---+---+---|
| d |   |   |   |   |
  and place cursor at "d" in 1 x 1, and 
(1) press M-x org-table-delete-column, 
I got the following message: 
user-error: This command is active in special context like tables,
                                   headlines or items  
(2) press M-x org-table-insert-row, I got :
Not at a table

how to resolve it, or what I missed, any advice will be appreciated!

Hi Dilon,

I cannot reproduce the problem.

Please M-x org-version RET and report the *whole* indication,
it might be a problem in your installation.

Best,

I got the message when M-x org-version RET:
Org-mode version 8.2.5h (8.2.5h-dist @ /study/doctor/note/org-8.2.5h/lisp/)

I used the org-8.2.5h's source without executing "make and make install", 
so that the above path was not standard path (ex. /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp).
and It seems be able to work well for other things such as exporting html.
  thanks again!

Can't reproduce it either: I only get this kind of error if point is not
within the table.

hi,
   I figured out!
   after restart emacs with (require 'ox),  I found a strange error message: 
Wrong type argument: integerp, (48 . 57)
and the error message disapeared after updating emacs from 24.0.95-1 to 
24.1-7, and M-S-<left> also works! 
  thanks again!
