Hi Philip,
The function PadRight may prove useful for you.
For example, with
tab1 = {{1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 11, 12}};
we can add two rows with
PadRight[tab1, Dimensions[tab1]+{2,0},List[tab1[[-1]]]]
and we can add two columns with
PadRight[tab1, Dimensions[tab1]+{0,2},List/@tab1[[All,-1]]]
The List statement in the first example is actually unnecessary, but makes
it clear how to go about adding two columns as in the second example.
