By the way, I've found an alternative for this. Locate the table in the designer window, press shortcut key, open add sub-menu, click property - it will take you to the list of the columns for that table focussing an edit box forcing you to specify a name for the new property. Pressing the shift+tab creates a new property with the default name property1, since it's not required one can delete it by selecting it in the listbox and pressing the dell key. I know that this is not the right way to go about it, but this is the only way I'm able to know to go about it.
