Hello Carol & Andy, Numbers is a very powerful application. It depends upon what you wish to do with it. I guess it would be useful if you stated what you would like to achieve with it. I've just been using my 1 to 1 sessions on numbers. Did either of you buy 1 to 1 training with your new Mac's?
If you open a new document. Numbers puts focus into the 1 table provided. You can use the arrow keys to navigate and VO announces column and row coordinates. In this respect I personally find it too verbose but knowing the VO utility. Such verbosity can be controlled. Like pages, it has a very powerful pallet of controls called an inspector. Achieved by option plus command plus (i). This is a toggle i.e. hiding it and giving it focus. It reminds me of iTunes. When you bring the inspector to the front. You have a series of radio buttons. So if you wish to manipulate the rows or columns simply select the table radio button. Then VO right arrow and explore the controls. When you have made your changes just press option + cmd + i and you are returned to your document. As I have an understanding of XL, other than the inspector. I don't feel numbers is too different. A spread sheet is a spread sheet. HTH Gena Please Note: Please use email address below for all future correspondence: g...@gena-j.me.uk Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching.
