Re: numbers guide
Dear John, As you navigate round a sheet, does VO read the row and column number? Is there a way of checking headings of columns if you create them, or do you have to remember tehM? Can you add sheets to your template the way you do in Excel so that you have multiple sheets? John, thank you for the list of steps in your message. I find it encouraging and I may now consider purchasing Iwork.

Re: numbers guide
Hi Pete, I am using Numbers a lot with Snow Leopard, since it is even more accessible here. Here is some basic VO tips for working with a blank template in Numbers: •Launch Numbers so that you have the templates window in front of you, or press command-shift-N to bring up the template chooser. •find the list of template categories and press return on the "blank" template. Numbers will open a fresh and new blank page. •Navigate to the scroll area and interact with it. •Navigate to the layout area and interact with it. •Navigate to the "table 1" table and interact with it. •Use your arrow keys to navigate around in the sheet, when you are on a header cell or row/column cell where you would like to add new data or overwrite existing data, simply write. •To edit or add data to an existing content, VO-shift-space on the cell and navigate inside of the cell with the arrow keys. •When finished, press return and you are done. You are taken to the next cell. There are different ways to interact with Numbers when you use VO, my suggestion is to create a test to play around with, and get familiar with it before working on real content. You will find both a Getting started guide and a User Guide under the Help menu in Numbers. Hope this helps!

Re: numbers guide
Hi. When yu see the template chooser just say blank it's the top row and then in the grid choose blank. As far as a quick start goes, there isn't one that would help a visually impaired but there is a number of tutorials I think that can be accessed from the help menu. HTH.

Re: numbers guide
Hello, I have just purchased Iworks and you just use the blank template and as far as I can tell the formulas are the same as excel.
