Hello Patrick,
I am using a Macbook Pro. At present I have 4GB of RAM and am thinking of
doubling this although I understand from the Apple store I could go up to
16GB on this model.
Yes, extra RAM can certainly bring a significant increase in performance.
Thank you for your response.
Chris

Hello Christopher and all:
I do not know what computer you are running numbers upon. I am not the
worlds most awesome user … that would be Anne. however, I am able to comment
upon the ram issue. If you can afford the luxury of more ram, I would do so.
now, of course, there may be some blow back from others stating that they
can run safari and numbers and mail and the US space program on 2 gigs of
ram. Yes, you can do that … just like I can run up hill pulling my groceries
with a rope and ox cart :). I can do so though why would I want to if the
issue is being productive and comfortable?
The ram will never go to waste. It is a fantastic investment in the life of
your computer. I cannot tell you how to spend your money … you would not
listen to me anyway :). To reiterate however, if you can swing it swing it
:).
Hopefully this information was useful to you. Please let us know.
Take good care and I wish you enough.
Patrick

Anne,
Thank you for the answer about higselecting. I did think of this but
thought there might be something simpler.
As for the busy messages I am not running a virtual machine. I do not even
have Fusion. I might consider using it in the future but then I would
upgrade the RAM as well.
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Hello Chris,
You can select a column or row in Numbers by going to the first cell in
that row or column and holding down the Shift key, use either the right
arrow key for a row, or the down arrow key for a column.
As for your Busy problem, are you by any chance running Windows as a
virtual machine? If so, you'll need more memory.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello,
I have just started using Numbers on my Macbook Pro running Mountain
Lion and, so far, have two questions.
1. How can I select a whole row or column? A trainer at the Apple Store
says you have to click on the row number or column letter. I cannot find
a keyboard shortcut to do this nor can I find a way of navigating to
these points with the touch pad or keyboard. I am sure there must be a
solution so please can someone tell me what it is?
2. Even though my spreadsheets have been very small so far I keep getting
"busy" messages and often have to force quit the program and on one
occasion even this solution did not work. I seem to remember someone
saying that increasing RAM makes a big difference. I have 4GB so would it
be worth doubling this, or maybe adding even more RAM than that?
Many thanks,
Chris Edwards
