Re: efficiently selecting multiple cells in numbers

Hello Emrah,

If you're interested in a French website and list, have a look at:


C'est mon site pour les utilisateurs francophones DV de Mac et c'est là qu'on 
trouve les infos pour s'abonner au forum cecimac. Il y a aussi une page 
d'astuces.

Amicalement,

Anne

Hi Anne,

Merci beaucoup pour cette astuce. I guess ther are some things which need sight 
emulation using voice over, and they're pretty clever in fact.

Will try that out as soon as i get a finished data set from my friend 

Best regards,

Yuma

I've watched your posts on the various Apple related lists & heard you on

apple products & your willingness to share that knowledge with others.  Your 
familiarity with pages is particularly impressive.  I wish you'd produce a

Re: efficiently selecting multiple cells in numbers

2012-01-30 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Yuma,

Sorry for the delay in answering you but I've been out teaching VO all day.

To select multiple cells in Numbers, place a hotspot on the first and last 
cells to be selected. If the first cell is the actual first cell, this is not 
necessary.

Go to the last cell to be selected, turn cursor tracking off, bring the mouse 
and do a physical mouse click. Jump to the first hotspot, or go to first item 
if the cell is the first, bring the mouse and shift-click.

VoiceOver will announce the number of cells selected.

This sounds messy but it's easy when you get used to it. I use the Trackpad 
Commander to find the cell I want, then I turn it off to perform the action.

Cheers,

Anne
