You can get all the memory upgrades you want, but it is still not going to make numbers fully accessible. I have spoken to Apple countless times about Numbers and Accessibility. If you have a large spread sheet, there is no way to do a find or search to jump to a cell, as they broke that function in mountain lion. Apple is aware of this issue, and they told me numbers and pages have not been updated since before Voiceover came out, so it doesn't fully work with Voiceover. Kind of frustrating when you consider productivity. I used to use numbers all the time, and several times a day all of the sudden I couldn't enter any data into the spread sheet. I would have to quit numbers and restart. I have switched over to a database program as numbers got so frustrating to use. On Jun 19, 2013, at 11:55 AM, Anne Robertson <a...@anarchie.org.uk> wrote:
