Where do inserted rows and columns appear on worksheet?

When you insert rows in a worksheet, the new rows appear above the selected row; for example, if you insert a row above row 5, it will become the new row 5, and the original rows 5 and below will shift down. Similarly, when you insert columns, the new columns appear to the left of the selected column. For instance, inserting a column to the left of column C will make it the new column C, shifting the original columns C and D to the right.
